I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Description of Subject Matter: This monument, a tribute to Father Junípero Serra, was erected near Camellia Grove in Capitol Park in 1965. A priest in the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church, Father Serra was charged with leading the development of the California mission system beginning in 1768.
Father Junípero Serra was born Miguel José Serra in 1713 on the small Spanish island of Mallorca. As a priest, Father Serra traveled to the New Spain colonial territory of Mexico in 1749 to devote himself to missionary work. Appointed head of the Spanish missions in 1767, he established his first mission in what is now the state of California at San Diego in 1769.
Before his death in 1784, Father Junípero Serra helped to establish nine Spanish missions in California:
* Mission of San Diego, July 16, 1769
* Mission San Carlos Borromeo, June 3, 1770
* Mission San Antonio de Padua, July 14, 1771
* Mission San Gabriel, September 8, 1771
* Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosam September 1, 1772
* Mission San Francisco de Asis, June 29, 1776
* Mission San Juan Capistrano, November 1, 1776
* Mission Santa Clara de Asis, January 12, 1777
* Mission San Buenaventura, March 31, 1782

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
