I mentioned a few days ago that Flickr has become my new obsession. One of the reasons I like it so much is that you can join different "groups" for common interest. Once you join a group, you can add your photos into a "pool" for the group. There are also message boards for each group (challenges, photography tricks and hot spots, etc). You can find some amazing photography!
Here are the groups that I joined in the past week or so:
- Abyssinian & Somali Cats (245 members)
- All Cats--No People (8,271 members)
- Barns (2,628 members)
- Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, St. Paul, MN (125 members)
- Full Moon (1,243 members)
- Graffiti Archaeology (6,786 members)
- Manx Cats (120 members)
- Minnesota Marvels (Architecture and Bridges) (403 members)
- Minnesota Marvels (Roadside Attractions) (517 members)
- Minnesota Marvels (waterfalls, lakes and streams) (428 members)
- Minnesota State Fair (238 members)
- Multiple Cats (1,035 members)
- Pink Floyd (695 members)
- Prince (199 members)
- Project 365 (9,139 members)
- Russian Blue (204 members)
- Self-Portraits!!! (20,499 members)
- Sunrises and Sunsets (9,636 members)
- The Beauty of St. Paul, MN (339 members)
- Tucson, Arizona (614 members)
- White Bear Lake and Township (2 members)
- Your books (8,231 members)
At Flickr you can also add contacts and whenever they upload new photos, you can opt to receive an e-mail with the photos or their photos will show up on your Flickr Home page (along with any new photos added to any of your groups).
I am sure there are a million other cool things you can do at Flickr, but I am still in the exploring stage :)
Holy Crap! How on earth do you find time for all of those Groups, FaceBook, Blogging, Your Restaurant Blog, Your Job, Taking Pictures and Reading!
You are Super Woman or something and I want to know your secret!

Do you have a Russian Blue cat? We used to when I was much younger and she was a great cat and absolutely gorgeous. I would LOVE to have another someday.h
