One that I've just found (and spent half an hour browsing through the posts) is EXPRESS WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AT ACTIVE RAIN. Click the link and join the group!
The sidebar warns that a wall of words with no pics is likely to be deep-sixed! Since I love images, and always have my camera with me, this group is one of my new favorites.
I like to be up and out early in the morning, and yesterday morning's sunrise was just spectacular. The temperature was a nippy 48 degrees. This is why I love Tucson, Arizona!

Wow! Truly awesome! I'm supposed to be "color-blind" but I can certainly appreciate those colors.
Richard,
Thanks for being the first to comment on my first post to Express with Photographs at Active Rain! See you on your blog.
Mike in Tucson
Very pretty photo. Love the colors, amazing to see how vivid they are. It must have been a beautiful walk you had!
Janna,
I took the sunrise photo as I was driving to work. We've had two very windy days, which leaves a lot of dust in the air, and the very early morning rays gave us a spectacular show. This is unusual, but our sunsets are almost always spectacular, like this one.
Mike in Tucson
Stunning photo Mike, the colors are so incredible you are a lucky man to live there.
Patty,
We used to live in New Jersey, and the company I worked for at the time offered me the position of National Sales Manager. They wanted me to move "out west." Tucson was my first choice.

Mike both those photos are amazing! Absolutely stunning! You definitely have an eye for great photography!
Mike, that is a beautiful photo. I never even heard of that group. I must check it out.
Nothing like sunrises and sunsets in the great SW, and you captured your's in a spectacular fashion! Wow Mike.
Mike,
Your photos always make me feel good!
I'm being redundent, again.
Thanks.
Bill
The colors that you get in Tuscon are simply spectacular. We just don't get colors like that around here. Occassionally on the water, we'll get a dramatic sunrise or sunset. Nothing like yours. I just love them.
Lenn,
That makes me smile! When I first saw light such as this in Arizona Highways, I didn't believe it was real.
Bill,
That's all I could ask.
Susie,
Thank you.
Timothy,
Neither had I, until last night.
Sandy,
Thanks for your encouragement. Are you traveling this way for Christmas?
Mike in Tucson
What a gorgeous palette ! Makes me think about the time that may come to be a Snowbird Realtor in Arizona....we'll send you pictures of our snow mountains !
The picture is breathtaking - very beautiful - thanks for sharing!
Mike, That is what I call a real sunrise. Thanks for sharing the beauty of AZ. with us.
I just joined and will try to do some posts soon. Looks like a nice spin off group!
your friend in Charlottesville!
Breathtaking! It's so beautiful it doesn't even seem real.
You're very lucky for live in an area that presents you with gifts like that sunrise every day.
Good morning, that is an awesome photo, you may what to check out the group Wordless Wednesday, One only post there photo with no writing on it on Wednesday's.

Hey Mike! Beautiful Photo! What's great about Tucson sunsets, is that you don't have to be a professional photographer to capture an amazing image... Even I have caught a few good snap shots... And, we're blessed to see these sunsets every single night! I love looking at photos too. I think I'll go join this group right now!
Mike - this looks really good to me right now. After having a shortage of rain most of the summer, it seems to have set in for a spell. 5 days in row of steady rain. I'm ready for some sunshine, and your picture reminds me of clear sky.
What a wonderful sunrise. Thanks for pointing this group out, Mike. I love to look at the photo blogs here on Active Rain, and now know where to find a direct resource.
Mike,
The colors palette is just spectacular. Very nice photo. :)
Steve
Hi Mike~ We won't be heading south for Christmas, it was supposed to be every ones turn to come to Seattle, but I don't think that's happening either. I think my parents are heading this way though, so it'll be a quiet Christmas. We may go to the new Great Wolf Lodge just south of Olympia for a couple days. Are you staying in AZ for Christmas?
Mike - Beautiful colors and worth a Feature, great job!
Mike:
I definately need to keep my camera with me as you do. I have missed some great shots.
Do you mind me asking what camera you used and with any filters etc?
Thanks
Susan,
Panasonic Lumix ($200. at Costco) set on digital "warm" filter.
Robert,
Thanks for the feature! Love your group!
Sandy,
We're staying here for Christmas. Best to you and yours.
Steve,
Thanks!
Karen,
I'll look for you on the group home page soon!
Larry,
Aren't you due for a visit to Tucson?
Kurt,
That's great. See you there.
Roy,
Thank you for the suggestion; I'll check out Wordless Wednesday.

Thanks!!
Mike in Tucson
yesterday morning's sunrise was just spectacular.
Hey Mike,
Your picture is stunning!
However, can you guys please stop it with all the new groups! :) There are only so many hours in one day. I'm trying to learn as much as I can, but I feel like I'm drowning in the deep end of the pool.
Cordially,
Bruce
Bruce,
Jump right in. We'll drag you down.......

Mike in Tucson
Great shot! I'm just finding my way to some of the photography groups myself and am loving them as well. I anticipate hanging out here :~)
Exquisite sunrise photograph from Arizona Mike! I too have enjoyed the 'fresh new flavour' of some of Robert Swetz's groups including EXPRESS WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AT ACTIVE RAIN.
Mike - I did a double take on this post and your sunset photos are just gorgeous, wow! Another reason I stopped by was because my friend Deborah from BC in Canada left a comment, I had to read what she said about you photo.
Robert,
Thanks for stopping by. The photo in the post was taken at sunrise. You're not the first to think it was a sunset photo, though. Thanks for stopping by again, and for featuring this in your group.
Deborah,
Thanks much for visiting, and for the encouragement. I appreciate the link, and will check out Robert's other groups. See you soon on your blog!
Terri,
Thanks for commenting; I'll look for your posts in the group and see you on your blog.

Mike, What an awesome sunrise. I don't get to see them very often (being a nightowl), so this was a special treat for me. Thanks for sharing.
Bob,
We had a lot of dust in the air the morning I took this photo. I've never seen such a brilliant sunrise here in Arizona. I grew up on the equator in South America, and the skies were more colorful than Arizona, if you can imagine that.
