There’s no comparison of the color of brilliant cranberries surrounded by a boom, to the color swatches claiming to be “cranberry.” We are so fortunate to have this amazing sight every autumn. It takes your breath away!
Susan Basile took these harvesting photos of the bog out in back of her home on Thompson Street, Halifax. At the left, berries that have been agitated from their vines float to the top of the flooded bogs, where they are rounded up with floating booms, bringing the berries to the vacuum where they are sucked up to be deposited onto the back of a waiting trailer truck.
