The rain and bad weather amongst other things have stopped me from getting out and getting shots of the autumn colours so I thought I would have a go at bringing some in with me.

Very colorful. What are they? Looks like some sort of pods.

horse chestnuts (or conkers) as we used to call them, as kids we use to put a hole thru them and tie a string to them, then beat one aganist the other.
Hi Marilynne, as Roy says they are Horse Chestnuts or Conkers. As a schoolboy this time of year was spent collecting them and then trying to make them as hard as possible by doing all sorts of things like soaking them in vinegar or putting them in the oven when my Mum wasn't watching!
