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.
Several cranberry bogs in Maine sell to those famous juice people…but I prefer them whole with a bit of sugar.

Theme: I made this!
I made the mittens. The cranberries are from local bogs, and the box (stamped Maine) is a very old hen crate. I've done selfies like this before and now I know why I haven't done one in a while; sheesh! Its like choreographing a cat show!
Be well dear friends. I'm posting all week and having fun viewing your beautiful images.
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.
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.

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!
I made this delicious cake!
Love the sweetness of the cake with the sour cranberries.
Have a great weekend!
Mike said this looks like pizza....it is not pizza.
Stephanie's Bliss Bars recipe.
Topaz - with Old painting 22 texture from Kerstin Frank. Thank you.
While making cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving, I remembered that cranberries float and got out my camera.
And a belated Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Probably not Tom Thomson's Cranberry Marsh ... but maybe.

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.
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 !!

Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin you'll find many cranberry marshes, which produce over half of all cranberries sold worldwide. In the spring, summer and fall you'll find these marshes full of cranberry vines growing them, giving each bogland its' red/purple-ish color. In the winter, however, all you'll see is ice, and today is no exception.
The CN Whitehall Sub passes through a few of these marshes west of Wisconsin Rapids. The Whitehall Sub is the ex-GBW mainline from Wisconsin Rapids to Bluff Siding, across the river from Winona, MN, but nowadays is only used as far as Arcadia, WI. L576 is the one regularly scheduled train across the Whitehall Subdivision, and it's not uncommon to see power without PTC since there isn't enough traffic to warrant its' installation. This means there's always a possibility you can see something you normally can't on a mainline, and this was no exception.
After a very short turn in Wisconsin Rapids, L576 is on its' way back to home base at Blair with BCOL 4650- one of the few remaining C44-9Ws in BCOL paint-leading the way.
