During harvest, New England's cranberries create a beautiful tapestry against the terrain. With peak harvest occurring in September and October, this provides us with a second spectacular color display. Oft overlooked, vibrant patterns, colors and textures are created down in the bog. Greens and reds contrast perfectly against the yellows and oranges of the surrounding woodlands. Cranberry bogs are a canvas, on which New Englanders have painted a beautiful scene.
