St. Patrick, Irish Immigrant

This moss growing on columnar basalt boulders in the Gorge reminds me of Ireland. The Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny was in the US to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. The Prime Minister spoke about St. Patrick as an immigrant and America as a haven for Irish immigrants. In some videos of this speech, the US President can be seen off to the side, and appears not to connect with the Prime Minister's words.
