Fall already? Short season. That is a lot of crimson.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
The pic was taken in the fall of 2016.
Prince Edward Island has 13,000 acres of commercially-harvested wild low-bush blueberries. The crop is almost completely flash frozen and then exported. About 45% of our local blueberries are exported to China. The other major crop here is potatoes. The blueberry acreage is typically former potato fields. Wild blueberries are grown commercially in Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Compared with the other places where they are grown, Prince Edward Island has a big advantage in that our soils are not rocky and that makes harvesting much easier.
Wow!
Let's hope you don't have too many bears on your Island...

PEI has no bears, lynx, cougars, deer, wolves, or moose. They are on the mainland which is about 10 miles away at its closest. We have just three species of snakes - all non-venomous and no turtles or lizards. There are however lots of birds as we are on a
migration route.
i do love empty beaches
heres one of Ainsdale beach, Lancashire taken 11.31am on 18 november last year, not a soul in sight, walking down from Southport to Formby
there's more sand on the Formby dunes:
no wild blueberries though, have to go west across the Irish Sea I think to get any chance of those
Beautiful! I particularly like your second image - the one close to the dunes. Sadly your third looks like the dunes are being damaged. Are people allowed to walk in the dunes? Here they are protected. In many areas here dogs and horses are restricted because there is a endangered bird (Piping Plovers) that nest on the beach -- they are very sensitive to being intruded upon. Motorized vehicles are never on our beaches either.
the first pic was looking back north towards southport
this pic is looking south with liverpool in the far distance on the skyline
The dunes at Formby are National Trust property so they are a recreational resource and managed - walking is allowed - activities are controlled and restricted to designated areas
One thing you can't do anything about though is coastal erosion...

dunes long shot:
