"Kalyna...the Cranberries" Lamont Travelogue by Darby2

Lamont Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 8 photos

Highbush cranberries abound in northern Alberta, specially in Kalyna country.

They have a rather tart flavour when eaten fresh but they make excellent jelly.

From Henry David Thoreau

" It is dry hazy June weather. We are more of the earth, farther from heaven these days. We live in a grosser element. We are getting deeper into the mists of the earth. Even the birds sing with less vigor and vivacity. The season of hope and promise is past; already the season of small fruits has arrived. The Indian marked the midsummer as the season when berries were ripe. We are a little saddened, because we begin to see the interval between our hopes and their fulfillment. The prospect of the heavens is taken way and we are presented only with a few small berries."

Walden, June 17, 1854

My mother was born in Lamont. I have been there many times. Nice salute to a relatively unknown region.
