Stupid Flickr Question

Can I make my photostream private so no one can see it, but still have albums of photos that I make "public"? Flickr's help pages are kind of opaque & I haven't figured it out yet. The problem with the photostream is it has only ONE way to sort photos, in the date/time order you upload them.

Like every other new 50mm lens it will be super corrected. Compare the size of a current Zeiss, Canon, Nikon, etc., 50mm f1.4 in size and number of elements and groups and you'll find that they are all about twice the size, the weight, and quadruple the cost, to eliminate all optical defects

PESO - Bluebells - state flowers

Both Saturday night and (especially) Sunday night, we had violent thunder and lightning, with gusty winds and several (3-4) periods of hail in our area. Nickel- and quarter-sized hail caused multi-thousand-dollar damages. (Actually, in some cases, the hail was up to a golf-ball in size.)
