Reminds me of the Wisconsin harvest. Really enjoyed those pictures and was thinking that probably Ocean Spray would like these shots, also.

Ahh I thank you Desert Drake and yes quite a few other States grow cranberry bogs and harvest them. As for Ocean Spray well they missed out as I already promised hi res photos to our upper Cape newspaper (The Enterprise) as the editor ask for them this morning and he publishes a lot of my local work from Ospreys to Cranberrys

Lou -
It's good to hear that you're doing OK.
It was very interesting to see the cranberry processing, and that you're never more than an arm's length away from your passion (photography) whereever you go, or under whatever circumstances (on way home from the hospital).
Take care, my friend. We want you around here active for a long time to come.

I have seen this on TV Lou, found it fascinating on the growing and cultivating procedures. I always wondered what those berries would look like as a background with some waterfowl on them, now I know Such a rich coloring on the berries, that cranberry-mower looks like a fun tool
Looks like a beautiful area Lou, bet this 'charged your batteries up'
You take good care, listen to what the doctor says, put that 400 2.8 down its too heavy!
Stay healthy my friend..........
Karl
Ha-HA- Ha good one Karl about the 400 as I already let my son take my car so I won't be tempted to drive. Feel free to tahe a berry photo for a BG if you want or I can send you a higher res of it also. That 18 wheeler is a nice tool also and just about ready to roll as it is almost full. As for my batteries well my Doctor said they were good for at least 5 to 10 years so I had to ask if he could give that warentee on the carcass that is holding it. N/C Thanks Buddy

Hey Lou, thanks for the east coast cranberry report They grow a ton of them on the WA and OR coasts also. It is fascinating to watch the whole process and you documented it so well
Take care Lou, we need you !
Tim
Hey thanks Tim and yes I know there are many other states that grow them. Very interesting way of farming. I just got a phone call about a really big bog being done this weekend and my buddy said he would drive me if I could make it. Its on the outter cape. My brain is turning

Hey Ken glad you enjoyed it, I know I did. Had to let my son take my wagon from me as I am sure I would be breaking the rules and driving and maybe ending up back in the hospital for that surgery over again. At least I have a kids with brains. Must have got that from their Mom.
