As for photography, I do plan to get out once the weather is cooler. Not sure if there are groups in the area or not.
I will talk to my son and look into the app.
I love your idea about the kitty cat rescue group too.
The lady friend that I have dinner with occasionally also suggested a birding group. I'm seriously considering joining the Audubon Society. They have a couple of chapters in the Phoenix area. That would get me interacting with people while enjoying my love of birds.
I'll post an update once I get the courage to do something.
