A wonderful sunny day... the sun shining in the deep blue sky, and still full summer! But in the woods the first unripe chestnuts are lying on the ground, blown down by the strong winds...
And the crazy crocus is still in bloom in the same shady spot in the woods where I had photographed it a little less than 2 weeks ago... It has been in bloom all the way through the heatwave! Isn't this crazy??? Wild crocus blooming in August -- AND during a heatwave!

Kastanien - those are Kastanien, yes?
WOW, love them, always did! Not one Kastanienbaum here in Israel, to hot for them!
And this crocus Anna, could those be "Herbstzeitlose"? Because they will bloom now - a bit early, but it fits.
Hugs!
Ja Yael, es sind Kastanien!!! We do have lots here, it's their perfect habitat. In the past people lived from them during the winter months, preparing them in all possible ways: boiled, roasted, dried, ground into flour etc.
I will check about the "Herbstzeitlose", thanks for the tip, Yael!
I am also admiring these chestnuts, never seen before. Thank you for shearing. Leena
Thank you Leena!
These are actually unripe chestnut husks, the chestnuts are hidden inside... I will post chestnut pics in the autumn!
