The first Chestnuts of autumn

The First Chestnuts of autumn 2013

While out on a walk yesterday evening I came across the first Chestnut from the horse chestnut trees, I have seen this Autumn. It was a very wet afternoon but I managed to get these images while sitting underneath my Brolly.

Wonderful! I can almost smell the wet fallen leaves.
Glad you had your brolly.

You mean you can gather them on your walks? I love chestnuts but they’re expensive here. Lovely shots!
