This is my grandfathers tree. It's a Common Horse-chestnut. He planted it on his twentieth birthday back in 1922. I take a photo here every now and then. Try the flickr slideshow.
Bigger photo.

Nice photo of your grandfather's tree. I planted an oak outside my office. It was a small seedling that grew up from an acorn that fell from the oak tree on the old country school grounds where I went to school a long time ago. My oak is now about 20 feet tall and produces acorns for the squirrels.
I have celebrated this day, Mother's Day in my country, with a magazine cover for my wife. I hope you can see it.
Thanks Abe.
