Western hemlock ( not related to poison-hemlock, the weed which killed Socrates) is on the right. the stick in the middle belongs to coastal Douglas fir tree(Pseudotsuga) . The crooked trunks are of Arbutus menziesii native tree to this region. And the maple trees shining through from behind.

I like Tsuga canadensis very much, it looks little bit like a cedar tree. I have one T. canadensis in the garden. Unfortunately, they are probably more fond of colder climate and shade as I see. Mine is on a sunny place and I see it really doesn´t thrive very much there. I see some "recovery" after long rainy days, but those were really rare this year.
Is this forest close to your place?

This is Tsuga heterophylla not canadensis, Katarina
native to the west coast of North America.

All the pictures I posted so far is of our property. It is our forest.
We have 8 ares of it.

I think it is a beautiful property Katarina. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful and peaceful it is. Mainly native species . Some parts of the property is impenetrable because of the undergrowth of salal (Gaultheria shallon) and prickly oregon grape (mahonia).....and we are keeping it that way. Although, I am trying to introduce few plants and trees not native to this land in the other parts.
