WELCOME

WELCOME
Recently lived in the Appalachian area of the U.S. -- I have now moved to the Pacific Northwest. My blog has covered several years of Appalachian folkways and beginning this year of 2013 will begin to cover the Pacific Northwest. Therefore, there will be a potpourri of Appalachian and Pacific Northwest ways reflected in my posts. I'm an observer of cultures and nature both here and beyond and will bring those observations to you through my writings and photography. Please feel free to leave comments. ~~ barbara. -- http://folkwaysnotebook.blogspot.com/ All photos on this blog are mine unless otherwise designated -- use of photos or text should carry FOLKWAYS NOTEBOOK credit designation.

Pacific Northwest USA

Pacific Northwest USA
Source: Wikipedia
Much of the Pacific Northwest is forested. The Georgia Strait–Puget Sound basin is shared between British Columbia and Washington, and the Pacific temperate rain forests ecoregion, which is the largest of the world's temperate rain forest ecozones in the system created by the World Wildlife Fund, stretches along the coast from Alaska to California. The dryland area inland from the Cascade Range and Coast Mountains is very different from the terrain and climate of the coastal area due to the rain shadow effect of the mountains
