Pink horse chestnut



I got a surprise as I walked down the track to take the washed & squashed to recycling the other day.

Two large horse chestnut trees, one on either side of the path, were bearing pink candles.

Perhaps I simply never noticed before.

Today I stopped to take a closer look; there are only a few candle bearing branches, the lowest on the tree, both on the side next to the track rather than outside in the sunlight. So maybe it is something to do with this years unusual weather conditions.
