Blueberry Fields: for Ruby Tuesday


Some viewers might be surprised to see the title word, blueberry, used for a Ruby Tuesday posting but as soon as you see these beautiful 'ruby coloured' fields left behind after the blueberry harvest, I know you'll understand and appreciate their unique beauty as I do.

  7. Great shot and colors - although the remnants look to be more of raspberry red...Glad there is enough of a growing season in NB - unless it isn't as cold as long as I think in the 'great white north'. The Maritimes look nice all year!

  13. I've never seen anything like this in my long life as a blueberry picker.
    In Norway one usually have to search a long mountain sides for the odd tuft.
    Here on can swim, take a dive into the blueberry fields. Amazing!

  21. Oh my, I have never seen anything like that. It's beautiful! We used to pick up blueberries in the woods, but there were just patches of them here and there, not fields.

    Maybe this is a 'stoopit questyun' but is that a commercial enterprise or a fabulous natural occurance? I used to love picking blueberries as a little kid in the Michigan U.P. visiting my grandparents, but we never had acres like this.

  27. deborah:
    This is a nonpublic/privately owned field and blueberries are harvested there each year. There are a few other large blueberry fields in this area also. We pass by here maybe a couple of times a year and these photos were taken last September. I am assuming they look just the same this year as well.

  36. I didn't know Blueberries looked like this after harvest. Near here after the grapes are harvested the farmers use the discarded skins as fertilizer and some of them turn red too. They put big piles of them in the fields and they smell so good as you drive by.
