Mar 16, 2013 8:44 PM in response to Canozzie11by mende1,It may be a duplication, but note that photos which appear on Photo Stream are on iCloud, not on the Mac, so they aren't duplicated on your hard disk. Anyway, photos uploaded to Photo Stream are deleted 30 days after uploading them, so sooner or later, they will be deleted from your iCloud

Mar 16, 2013 9:03 PM in response to mende1by Canozzie11,my understanding was that they are deleted from the cloud after 30days or 1000 photos BUT stay in your iPhotos library on your Mac OS as a monthly event...

Mar 16, 2013 11:55 PM in response to Canozzie11by léonie,mende1, the PhotoStream is mirrored in your User Library,
in ~/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement
for example: /Users/your home folder/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/pub/jOkf3hM0TnaKEBwW70oY0A.jpg
MacOS X keeps this local working copy for syncing with iCloud and off line access, so you can always access the stream and add to it, even if you are currently not online.
Canozzie11,
These images will be deleted however, if you exceed the limit of 1000 photos, or after a month.
BUT stay in your iPhotos library on your Mac OS as a monthly event...
They will stay, if you have iPhoto set to automatic import into a monthly event, or if you imported them manually by dragging from the stream to an event.
How are your settings in the iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream? Have you enabled automatic import?
You may want to have a look at these support articles, if you have not already found them:

Mar 17, 2013 12:41 AM in response to léonieby Canozzie11,All items checked in my Photo Stream iPhoto Preferences. I believe that is the default setting if you turn Photo Stream "ON".
So they do STAY in iPhotos as an event, correct?
A seperate question...Do my photos imported into my Mac from a camera get added to the photo stream? Or is it only photos take with my Apple Devices (iPhone and iPad).

Yes, photos in your events stay, unless you delete them.

Any photo that you import into iPhoto on your mac will be added to "My Photo Stream", if you have "Automatic Upload" set. Check for yourself. Import a photo to iPhoto and view your Photo stream. after some time you shoud see the photo appear.
If you do not want to upload all photos and disable automatic upload, you can share photos manually to the photo stream.
