Approaching Alcatraz - a photo on Flickriver

            Many people think of Alcatraz as America's most notorious prison, which it was for 30 years of its 150+ years as an inhabited island.   Its Civil War-era buildings, cannons, and subterranean rooms give insight into the 19th century when the Island served as both a harbor defense fort and a military prison. Reminders of the American Indian Occupation, which began in 1969 and ended in 1971, remains etched on “The Rock”, recognizing an important milestone in the American Indian rights movement.  It is also an nesting site for snowy egrets, black crowned night herons, Brandt cormorants, pigeon guillemots, and Western gulls.

We went on a beautiful May morning for a tour of the magnificent gardens. 

I am having computer problems and will be on and off for a few days.  I hope to catch up with everyone over the weekend.  

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
