One of the things that makes Flickr fun for me is the idea of &#8220;Groups&#8221;.  A group is way to share photos about a particular subject and discuss them.  There seems to be a group for just about everything these days and I&#8217;m personally part of a couple dozen groups.  <\/p>\n<p>Up until just recently, I never saw the need to create my own group, since I was always able to find a group about whatever topic I wanted.  Last week, however, I finally find a spot where Flickr needed a group.  I had taken a whole <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pmarkham\/sets\/72157603806552082\/\">set of photos<\/a> of horse-drawn sleighs when I attended the St. Croix Valley Carriage and Driving Society&#8217;s annual Sleigh and Cutter Festival at the Washington County Fairgrounds a few weeks ago.  I went looking for a group to join to post my sleigh photos and came up empty.  There were groups for horse drawn vehicles, driving horse, etc &#8212; but nothing specifically about sleighs.  So &#8212; I seized the opportunity and created a group devoted to sharing photos and discussing horse drawn <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/sleighs\/pool\/\">sleighs, bobsleds and cutters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So far, after a week of existence, there is a grand total of four members of my group.  Now I see *why* there wasn&#8217;t a group for this already.  Oh well.  It was fun anyway!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Pete<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no secret that I&#8217;ve become completely hooked on Flickr.
