Photo gallery: Cranberry picking time

For most of Massachusetts the sign of summer being over and cooler days of autumn arriving is apple-picking time.

Here on Cape Cod the signal that cold temperatures are around the corner is a little bit different. The colors are the same but the size of the fruit is different. Cranberry harvest time is here.

Whether dry picking or wet picking the little red fruit, it really is one of our best free shows here on the Cape. Keep your eyes open and don't be afraid to stop by the roadside because these farmers gather their harvest very quickly.
