Now a series of a horse chestnut tree in the grounds.
I love horse chestnuts. They have fat and sticky buds, the earliest and freshest green leaves, then flowers like candles, they are huge threshing castles all summer then herald autumn by turning brown first of all the trees, then hand out conkers!

These were all taken on separate days. Spring creeps up on you, you know!

I'll continue the sequence tomorrow when I'm back there, and might even pop back at key points even after I'm discharged.
