Commonly known as Douglas fir, and also as Oregon pine or Douglas spruce, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Pinaceae) is a species of conifer native to North America. 

Pseudotsuga menziesii is a clear, straight-trunked tree, with a spire-like crown, and the capacity to grow over 300 feet tall. The upper branches of the tree point up and the lower branches droop down and recurve. Mature seed cones are approximately 3 to 4 inches long, reddish brown in color, and have pitchfork-shaped bracts.

Douglas-fir ranks as the second tallest tree species in the world behind coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), and contains the largest trees in the entire Pinaceae family.

Vancouver-based aspiring photographer!

I shoot with a Canon T2i and focus mostly on nature but am slowly becoming more interested in street photography. I have only had my camera for 2 years but I am sopassionate about it and I am learning more every day.
