Our Australian Art Buddy, And Fantastic Artist, Wendy Barrett, inquired about Cranberries!
I hope these photos I took a few weeks ago are helpful Wendy!
Must love cranberries!
Especially around Thanksgiving Time in the USA!
(Not the best photos. Took them into the sun, from my parked car, with my little i phone!)

| I took this photo with my i phone a few weeks ago! Love the red berries against the blue water! |
 |
| Another photo of the same scene. Look carefully to see the workers using the large hoses to vacuum the wet berries onto the truck! |
 |
| Fresh berries are so beautiful! Love the variety of reds! These were packed in a wooden box and sold at a local supermarket! Plenty of cranberries will be eaten this Thursday on Thanksgiving! |
I miss cranberries, none here in Italy. I wish you a great Thanksgiving and eat lots of cranberries for me too!
ReplyDeleteCiao! Hello Celia! You have the best Thanksgiving ever! I wish I could send some cranberries to you. On Thanksgiving I will make a toast to all our "Art Blogging Buddies!" I am sorry you don't have cranberries in Italia but you sure have some great figs! Michael
DeleteThese cranberries look so colorful and yummy! I'm looking forward to them this Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving.... Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I've never been up there to see the cranberries harvested. I love the different varieties of colors of the berries in the box. Thanks for sharing these. I could use some to go with my turkey. lol Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHello Joan! I am sorry you have never seen the cranberry harvest! I love watching the entire process. Just thinking about cranberries makes me want a huge warm cranberry muffin! I am glad you like the color of the berries! Me too! You have a great Thanksgiving also Joan! Take care. Michael
DeleteFANTASTIC photos Michael! So very interesting and different to what I could have imagined. If I'd thought about it at all, I would have imagined that cranberries grew and were harvested in much the same way as blueberries or raspberries. I so appreciate you posting the photos!! Enjoy them with your Thanksgiving dinner!! Have a wonderful day of it!
ReplyDeleteYour art Cobber,

Okay Wendy, now you have seen cranberries being harvested and got a chance to see the bogs flooded! Aren't the red berries floating in the blue water beautiful. Last year I posted a few photos of my cranberry bog paintings. One pretty realistic, the other two off the charts wild. Maybe I will post them again!
DeleteMaybe you could start a little Thanksgiving tradition in Australia. I plan to google holidays in Australia and around the world!
G'Day Mate!
