Wow, I'm an agriculturalist and I didn't know how these were grown! I presumed on a bush! Really stunning pics of an unusual process!
Thanks rowan57 and here is a bit of info and a link you can look at as it will give you some great help for the business you are in.
The plant is a low-growing, trailing, woody vine with a perennial habit. Cranberries produce stems or runners from one to six feet long. During the growing season, the leaves are dark green and glossy, turning reddish-brown during the dormant season. The vines form a thick mat over the surface of a cultivated bed.

These are gorgeous, Lou. Glad you stopped.
Take care!
Thanks Herterdog. I like that I was able to get the enviorment into most of the photos. THe first one is a 4 frame stitch and at 12 X 38 it does look good and I may do it in canvas as a gallery wrap.

Thanks SJMD, I am glad you found it so. I enjoyed taking the photos of it and happy to say they will make the upper Cape newspaper. Next Saturday I read a very large Bog out on the outter Cape is to be harvested. Weather looks bad for Sat and I got a ride from a buddy. May go if health permits.

Hi Kirk and good call on the greeting photo card as some will end up in my card department. Should be good sellers. With some time on my hands I have been getting a lot of them printed and sealed for my last show in Dec. Thanks for the kind words and yes I plan on following my Doctors advice as I do not want to go throught this again.

Thanks Tom and I can say with experience its a better way to farm than getting in the hay from about 100 acres. It is truly a very amazing berry and the way it is grown. I was hoping to hit a very large bog this weekend but not sure if I can do it with the restrictions I now have on me for a while
