Show Notes

Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is found from central California, up through the Pacific Northwest, throughout the Rockies (variety glauca) and southward down into our sky islands. We are so lucky to have it as a part of the mixed coniferous forests in the mountains of the borderlands. What a magnificent tree! The photo is mine (tripod, shutter timer, running back and forth) of me and Marian (Ms. Mesquitey!) and our magnificent tree, taken just before we headed down the mountain to have lunch in a woodland with some Mexican jays.
