yukesmooks is probably very surprised that at least 10 strangers have commented on one of her photos this morning. Most of the comments so far are from Flickr staffers. We’re all squealing with joy that the two billionth photo uploaded to Flickr is a lovely shot of a gum tree framed by a classic Australian sky (Oi! Oi! Oi!).

You see, we’ve been watching and waiting here at FlickrHQ… Some of the team were even placing bets on the exact date and time we’d pass this huge milestone. (Kellan won with his guesstimate of November 11.)

Now that we’re here, we’ll pause for just a moment to reflect.
