Capture and Share #9 - The Eyes of Autumn


I love collecting autumnal trinkets for the house.  These exquisite conkers will fill a glass vase to give a real rustic feel to the dining table.  Don't you think that the one still in its casing looks like a lizard's eye?

  1. I love conkers. We call them chestnuts over here in New England. I used to have a tree nearby and would collect them while I was walking of an afternoon. There are no trees near me now and I miss having a basket of conkers on the dining room table.

  4. Conkers always remind me of being a small boy...nostalgia's not what it used to be, though.
