This past weekend was the cranberry harvest at the Carlisle bog. A strange little berry, but it does make for a good photo.

Growing up in Massachusetts I took this for granted as a kid and just wanted the harvest to be over. That meant winter was coming and the flooded and frozen bog would become our personal and free skating rink. Learning to ice skate on a bog – with roots and twigs every few feet – makes a real rink look too easy. And a Zamboni, ridiculous.

I cannot imagine skating on a frozen over bog, treacherous, yet fun?! Love the photos!
