Here are some photos of the tree over the past few weeks, firstly looking into the canopy:
The first yellow leaves appeared early in June, this photo was taken on 9 June
on the same day we noticed that some of the conkers were starting to develop their characteristic spikes
Of course, this horse chestnut isn't the only tree I'm paying attention to at the moment. We're lucky to have several beautiful lime (linden) trees near where we live and in the cemeteries which we visit for Daily Exercise. These are my favourite trees at this time of year as they are in bloom and they smell wonderful!

I miss the conker candles
Hello,
Great post and photos from your tree following. The trees that bloom and have a wonderful scent are great. Have a great day!
I love that you are following this tree...
Hi,
Lovely trees...I like blooming trees the best..
have a great day!
Horse chestnuts have so much interest all year round, don't they? I particularly like the canopy when the leaves start coming out and they are tiny but there are so many of them.
Limes are also a favourite but there is only one sort that really smells, as far as I can tell, the one with white-backed leaves. We have an example near us which I thought I would never smell again as the site is being redeveloped for posh houses. But it's still there, thank goodness...
I'm loving your blog :)
