Elizabeth...is Google Plus private like PhotoBucket was? ie. you can lock it from viewing without the link?

Or is it public to all, and it can be browsed in Collections?
I am looking into getting it now, as I just found that my trip reports are now without pictures!Boo! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
