    Did you disable iCloud Photo Library in the system Preferences on your Mac?

    See this Help Page:  https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

     

    After you turn off iCloud Photo Library, the Photos app on your Mac can’t access your iCloud library, and any edits you make to photos on your Mac won’t appear on your other devices. Your library remains in iCloud and available to other devices that use iCloud Photo Library. To turn off iCloud Photo Library on all your devices, open the iCloud pane of System Preferences, click the Manage button, then click Photo Library. Click “Disable and delete.” Your photos and videos will be deleted from iCloud Photo Library in 30 days, unless you click Undo Delete before that time.

    So, open your System Preferences > iCloud, click the Manage Button, then Photo Library. Now click "Undo Delete".
