Pacific Madrone

Here's another shot of the Pacific Madrone, showing its orange-red peeling bark, its smooth green or tan wood, and the Strait of San Juan de Fuca where it grows. It is native to the Pacific coast from California to British Columbia and is one of our most striking native trees. This photo was taken at Clayton Beach in Larrabee State Park south of Bellingham.
