  1. Lovely little nuggets of colour. Walnuts never looked so good.

    I had a walnut tree in my garden in the UK and autumn was dangerous as they always seemed to fall on someone head, and the stain the shells leave on your hands is veryyyyyyyy difficult to remove.

  3. The walnuts we get here are just brown; your walnuts have such delicious colors! Here, it's acorns from the maple tree hitting the roof all day and night!! But we don't eat them - leaving them for the squirrels to fatten up on for winter.
