Fotos - Cranberry Harvest

Kris and I had the opportunity to visit an early season cranberry harvest.  The berries were "early black" cranberries.  The day was beautiful.  Other than the owners and workers, we had the cranberry bog to ourselves. 

Here are some of the pictures we took today.

An Early Black Cranberry

How many cranberries do you see? (answer below)

Machine separating the cranberry from the vine

Harvester rounding up the berries

"Wiley" the owners border collie helping to herd the berries

I hop this doesn't end up in my Craisins

Read excitement here in Plymouth, the snapping turtles eggs have hatched.  We started our normal morning walk with Greta and were surprised to see baby turtles on the street, on driveways, and coming out of the ground.  Kris rescued nearly 20 of the baby turtles.

What do we have here?

Just a little further

About twenty turtles collected

Your brave now, but try picking me up a year from now

Moved to safety

On their way to the swan diner

Fotos - HMS Bounty: Plymouth 400th

A couple of weeks ago, Kris and I went to a fundraiser held by the Plymouth 400th committee aboard the HMS Bounty.  In the year 2020, Plymouth will be celebrating its 400th anniversary.  Mark your calendars to include a visit (or two) to Plymouth in 2020.

The HMS Bounty was built for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty starring Marlon Brando. Today, the ship travels the globe.  We had a wonderful night aboard the ship.  Entertainment, appetizers and an open bar added to the enjoyment.  Here are some pictures from our evening aboard the Bounty.
