conkers inside.

the common horse chestnut (aesculus hippocastanum) is native only to a small area in the balkans, but widely cultivated. we used to build people and animals from conkers and tooth picks when i was small. we did not play conkers with them. they're slightly poisonous, enough to make one sick to one's stomach -- yes, i do know that from youthfully ignorant experience (deer eat them so what could possibly go wrong?). great shade trees, beautiful in bloom.

Indeed, also fabulous creators of litter in the fall, if memory serves.

Excellent focus!
