Ume and Chestnut Trees

This field of ume (plum blossom) and chestnut trees (photo below) is on a busy street. We used to have a big field of ume down the street from our house.

Chestnut trees.

Around and Over and Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree

Down the street surrounded by apartments, houses and a parking lot, these chestnut trees stand.

Just a couple of chestnuts remain on the branches with bright yellow leaves. Clear blue skies overhead today.

Looks like a lot fun under the chestnut tree. Unless you come up on a chestnut. Ouch!

Chestnut Chocolate

This chocolate bar had a layer pf chestnut in its center. It was really good.

Autumn Equinox

It's the beginning of chestnut season, too. Click to enlarge the photo.

Some need a little more time. This one was closer to the ground.

Chestnut Season

Today is the Fall Equinox. Some chestnuts have already been harvested from the trees down the street.




There are still many on the trees.




There is a "garden" of begonias near the chestnut trees.




Speaking of potted plants, here is a taro plant in a white plastic pot (see the September 7th post "Elephant Ears?") I saw this potted taro at a vegetable shop.
