Extra red highlights in fall foliage. A Viburnum - not a true cranberry - that I see in hedgerows and open edges here in the northern northeast.. Edible but wants sweetening, though I have some in mind as a tint for clear spirits.
PS, LR, and a texturing of my own.
Some Cranberry sauce we made at Christmas has been in the freezer and formed these abstract ice crystals.
Once upon a time, this property was part of the large Wadsworth Estate in Hiram, Maine. The area surrounding the pond (that white streak across the middle of the photo) was a productive cranberry bog you could walk across. Now inhabited by beaver, the property destruction is obvious.
And yet…
Beaver, brought to near extinction because of their pelts and their territorial difficulty living along side man, are extraordinary environmentalists. They create wetlands that support numerous species of plants, fish, birds, wild animals, and micro-organisms. Importantly, these wetlands safely isolate and store carbon both in plant life and in the debris of the felled trees they drag through the waters for their dams and lodges.
It is estimated that globally the “total carbon storage of wetlands is 225 billion metric tons, or the equivalent of carbon emissions from roughly 189 million cars every year.”
Unfortunately, beaver do not manage all those wetlands. Most are mismanaged or not managed at all, left to dry up and release that carbon back into our atmosphere. On the other hand, wetlands controlled by beaver are masterfully managed. Beaver guard and maintain them to support the life that depends upon their waters. And while you certainly do not want beaver in your yard, we need them in our wetlands.
Because of the Maine drought, I thought that this year Don and I would be able to walk across a somewhat soggy marsh to the pond, something we have never been able to do. Because of the beaver, we could not. The water in Cranberry Pond and its surrounding marshlands had not receded one single inch while a nearby lake was down significantly.
I made this delicious cake!
Love the sweetness of the cake with the sour cranberries.
Have a great weekend!
Hello Everyone!
This is dedicated to my Flickr friends who are celebrating Thanksgiving today. I couldn't send you cranberry sauce, so I thought this might be second best! Incidentally, these wild cranberries makes delicious sauce, they are just a little tarter than domestic cranberries. The small bushes are found in forested areas within the central and central-south part of the province.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
I appreciate your views and comments very much, THANK YOU! Have a lovely day.

Stephanie's Bliss Bars recipe.
Topaz - with Old painting 22 texture from Kerstin Frank. Thank you.
This black Squirrel is quite the acrobat trying to get those cranberries, even Squirrels love cranberries at Thanksgiving:-)
Took this while finishing up with the gingerbread green touches.
Probably not Tom Thomson's Cranberry Marsh ... but maybe.

Cranberries for Macro Monday's "two" theme.
The cranberries were dropped in a tank filled with water. I put white paper behind the tank and black paper above the waterline to get reflection from the underside of the water's surface. This was lit with one off camera flash to the side. If I was going to do it again and I had another flash I would use another to light the backing as the one wasn't enough. This took over 100 drop attempts and I think I only ended up with 7 or 8 shots with both cranberries fully in the frame. #perseverance
Thanks for viewing and happy Macro Monday!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Took the boat up and spent a few days in the wilderness at a friends amazing camp on Cranberry Lake in the Adirondacks. Absolutely amazing weather and sunrises!
Hibiscus acetosella, the cranberry hibiscus or African rosemallow, is a flowering plant of the genus Hibiscus or rosemallow. The word acetosella is of Latin origin and is derived from an old name for sorrel which comes from the sour taste experienced when eating the young leaves of the plant. Wikipedia
As strange as it may sound, upon a suggestion from the gardener, I tried one of the younger leaves. To my astonishment, it really did taste like a cranberry ... without any side effects !!
