Web albums missing after G+ install?

Loaded up the G+ app this morning so I could delete some old pics from my picasa web albums (wanted to clear up some space).

After the deleting, jumped into the stock Gallery so I could email the photo URL of a few new uploads, but now the Gallery only displays local photos (download, camera, music covers)

Anyone else run into this? I need to utilize the URL function that was made easy through picasa and Gallery, but is impossible to do via G+.

Time to uninstall G+ again?

EDIT: update
Uninstalled G+, web folders did not reappear in Gallery. Cleared data through Settings, still doesn't appear. What gives? Why don't my picasa web albums show in Gallery anymore?

Found it.

Apparently, in Google's infinite push to transition users from Piacsa to G+, when you load the G+ app it unchecks the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" in your user Accounts and Settings.
 
I was just going to write that. They have the auto-upload feature for G+ which makes it so you don't have to use picasa anymore. But don't worry all your pictures should still be there.
