Special posters for fun

Thank you SO much, fd, for this wonderful surprise this morning!!! You obviously knew that we all dreamed of seeing ALL our photos in Explore and this is the very next best thing!! What an extremely thoughtful idea! You have brought so much enjoyment for months to so many people with your clever, creative "toys". I know that I am definitely one of those people. However, from the heights of happiness, I have plunged to the depths of disappointment, because I clicked on "Turn off Christmas Scout"(?) just to have a quick look to see which of my photos were in Explore today, and then I couldn't see any way to return to the most attractive Christmas poster. Actually, you might just be responsible for an Internet crash, as I can't even access Scout at the moment! Congratulations and thanks for such a kind and much-enjoyed idea! 1.

To everyone else, thank you all SO much for actually taking the time to look at my photos - it means a LOT to me!
