Fallen sweet chestnuts


The advancing year combined with stronger winds produced a fresh fall of sweet chestnuts in the local woods. On our walk over and round May Hill we came across many strewn across our path. The actual nuts were much smaller than those of 2018, a year when the trees produced many that were large enough for people to gather and eat. The dark, warm glow of the nuts and the orange of the leaves, combined with the sharp, green prickles of the shells prompted me to point my camera at these examples.
