Cranberry Bog Cape Cod Beach, southeastern massachusetts,USA

Each fall, tart red berries are separated from low-growing vines in what is an annual scene in Southeastern Massachusetts – the cranberry harvest. The state is the second-largest cranberry producer in the U.S., so the small berry is pretty big here. In fact, cranberries got their name from early European settlers in the area. Cranberry bogs are often photographed flooded with water, with the red berries floating on the top. But that's only the scene during a so-called “wet harvest.” Throughout most of the growing season, which lasts from April through November, the low-growing vines crawl across dry land mixed with sand and clay, irrigated via channels that criss-cross through the bogs.
