Tree right on the waterfront. Sort of coming out of the side of the land and looked like it was falling toward the water. The tiny cones made me think it was a red alder.
Alder is the common name of a genus of flowering plants (Alnus) belonging to the birch family (Family Betulaceae). The genus comprises about 30 species of monoecious trees and shrubs, few reaching large size, distributed throughout the North Temperate Zone and in the Americas also along the Andes southwards to Argentina.
