Sap Tapping

This is this time of the year when you see lovely buckets hanging from tree trunks.
Unfortunately we also start to see blue hoses coming out of tree trunks and delivering the sap into white plastic containers. They are not so pretty.

So exciting! I love maple syrup.

[Mags]

Great capture! Lots of lovely buckets gathering that sap.

Yum yum!! Yes, the traditional method is much more photogenic! Did you know that Pennsylvania is the southern most state where maple syrup can be tapped? Beyond us it doesn't happen because it never gets cold enough. How about that?!

[Corinne C]

@olivetreeann I didn't know that. I know that each state/province making maple syrup think their is the best one :-) I think they are all delicious!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@corinnec Oh, hands down- Vermont syrup is the best! (o;

[Corinne C]

@olivetreeann thumbs up!

I love this, it’s so good to see as we don’t have this here.
I like the metal buckets, so much nicer than plastic.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A great capture - nice to see it done in the traditional way !

[Danette Thompson]

Very nicely captured

[LManning (Laura)]

Such a classic scene!
The syrup season here started ridiculously early and has been very short. Such crazy weather we’ve been having!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful capture

[Shutterbug]

This old traditional way seems to do a superb job. Love your capture of the woods, buckets and all.

[Kathy]

Vintage vs modern. Always in conflict. Fun to get a look at where the good stuff comes from.

[Valerie Chesney]

I have never seen this.
I do like to see & learn new (to me) new happenings. I love maple syrup.

[Babs]

What an interesting shot

[Christina]

I have never seen this - so interesting!

[Diana]

So beautifully captured Corinne, every time I have maple syrup I will be thinking of you now :-)

[Kathy A]

This is really interesting

[Boxplayer]

Wonderful

[Issi Bannerman]

For maple syrup, presumably. I love the real stuff.

[Cliff McFarlane]

Such an interesting capture. Not seen this before.

[Peter]

Fascinating capture Corrine:)

[Joan Robillard]

Great shot. I need to get busy and take some pictures of these this year. Maple Sunday is coming right up. I see you already had it in Vermont.

[Tia]

What an interesting capture and narrative.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Great love it😊

[Bucktree]

Wonderful capture of the traditional way of collecting the good stuff.

[Korcsog Károly]

I learned something today too! Thank you!

[Rob Z]

What a great image! So interesting as well as being beautifully taken

[haskar]

Beautiful scene. We collect birch sap in a similar way. But it is not tasty, only medicinal.

[Dave]

Nicely captured.

[KV]

Nice to see how it is done.

[Dorothy]

@haskar
Very interesting Haskar.

Love to see the metal buckets. I know the tap trees at Cunningham Falls State Park, Maryland. It’s not far from th state line with Pennsylvania.
