Not a Hedgehog..!!

by Keith Burton
Another Stansted forest find: This is an empty husk of a sweet chestnut, which has fallen from the tree.

Check out the PiP to see another that is in much better condition, taken in Autumn.

Dein herbstliches Leuchten mit diesen Farben ist richtig schön in deinen Pip lieber Keith,wunderbar ist das mit diesen Blättern und dieser Kastanienfrucht,aber auch in seiner Vergänglichkeit auf dem Moos ist es ein sehr schönes Motiv,das du toll gesehen und aufgenommen hast :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Without the picture in the PIP, it could also be a sea urchin. Very nicely staged in this great close-up.
