It loses all it's bark each year? I have river birch in my yard that peels but not the whole thing at once.
I like the contrast of the geen wood against the old red peeling bark.
wow that is pretty.
Well, Josie, yes -- it does lose all of it's paper-thin bark on the smaller and fast growing branches, but the larger branches and trunks form a more regular bark, especially on the slow-growing shady side..
Did you manipulate the black and white of the birches?
I like this pictures

Well, I did boost the brightness and contrast just slightly, but that is the way the madrones actually DO look... They have that beautiful mahogany color, and are really interesting when wet...
The place I hike to has a madrone grove at the very top -- it's my reward for dragging my sorry butt up there...
The colours are realy amazing beautiful, thanks for the explanation and showing those beauty!
wow very nice !!!
