Thanksgiving Day we spent up north in Muskoka and at Johnston's Cranberry Marsh.
The scenery is breathtaking, and I am considering moving up there to live. ...
 |
| Aren't those roadside rocks amazing?! |
 |
| Cranberry sorting. |
 |
| I LOVE this picture - it shows how much all of us adore our older sister. |
 |
| Tadpole :D |
 |
| They had helicopter rides, but really?! In a big family, you can't afford 6-8 minutes of flying for $60 per person. Cool to watch, though. |
 |
| Walking the marsh |
 |
| Some of the cranberries that missed collection. |
 |
| Beautiful fall colours. |
 |
| Raking the bushes. |
 |
| This corner was missed for the moment. |
 |
| This shot is so typical of northern Ontario: rocks, trees, lakes. |
 |
| These pictures all show my efforts at getting the raking operation and the colourful trees in the same picture. |
 |
| They have a bunch of ducks here; I am not sure, but I suspect that they may be there to eat the insects off the cranberry plants. |
 |
| Submerged cranberry bushes. |
 |
| This machine lifted the boats out of the water and dumped them into the truck (whose driver enjoyed honking that wonderful Mr. Toad horn) |
The operation
 |
| Of course, little boys cannot keep their eyes off moving things. :D |
 |
| I always knew our house was a zoo! |
Rocky fascination
 |
| The old raker. It was enjoyed by this little boy. :D |
 |
| The "beater." |
Sehr schön.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that about cranberries. I would like to taste the wine, but it's probably very expensive.
At first I thought there was a snowpeaky mountain in the background in picture one!
