This is the way we do things around here.

It surrounded by hundreds of apartment buildings and high rise business buildings as well as the Superior Court. It s the very first bird sanctuary in the United States and has a great variety of birds, migrating and strictly local using it all year round.
When I took photography I spent many hours there. I love that park. When I volunteered to take Kindergartners there on field trips it was a delight to help them wear themselves out.
I lived in Oakland for over 40 years. I miss it, but I cant afford to live there. Its probably the most misunderstood city in the country.
