Pumpkin field, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

The image of a pumpkin field in Victoria, British Columbia, seen today, captures the essence of the festive season. These fields yield a bounty of pumpkins, each one a future slice of pie or a festive jack-o'-lantern lighting up an October evening. Pumpkins are not just symbols of festivities—they are nutritional powerhouses, packed with vitamins A, C and E as well as fibre and antioxidants.
