Tom Wildoner shot this on April 3, 2017. He said, “This is an area inside Lehigh Gorge State Park, Pennsylvania that I have named ‘Mossy Glen’. A wonderful secluded spot with moss covered rocks as far as you can see, gentle running water always running around and over them. I visit this spot fairly often.”

Kristal Alaimo-Moritz Klear wrote, “Even the small things matter. Earth Day 2017 – San Simeon, California.”
