I have a fairly recent hobby. I started shooting gun's at my husband's shooting range. I took the conceal/carry course and am now licensed. For me shooting is comparable to yoga. Every part of my body has to be completely controlled, From my stance to the tip of my index finger to my breath and even my heart beat. It is similar to yoga in that the world fall's away and I am only focused on the target but hitting that bullseye or shredding a piece of paper in seconds is way more rewarding than sunrise salutations, any day!!!

Ooh, I didn't reply to this.

I guess photography is the only constant thing that can be considered solely a hobby, other than tortoises. Writing is up there too, of course, but it's also my career. I still enjoy writing in my spare time, and I'm in the process of publishing a children's book (though this process might go on until the end of the year).

Otherwise, when I'm not working, I seem to be spending much of my spare time focusing on my health and fitness. Walking, cycling, aerobics...maybe swimming in future...but I don't really enjoy any of it. It's just a necessary evil.

I'd love to have a proper hobby that I enjoyed and did regularly (even photography isn't something I do often because you need to find the right place). I probably don't have the time or money.

Well other than doting on the new baby tortoise, I spend most of the rest of my time pandering to my 10 year old Jack Russell who has some brain damage (slug pellets are bad for more than just slugs and tortoises!!)
I also love cycling and oddly enjoy watching the fiancee playing video games, also a big reader...

I have several hobbies. I love remodeling the house, so I do it over and over. I am part of a jeep club and we own two jeeps. We are into muscle cars and have a Grand National. I also consider shopping my hobby.

Hobbies... Too Many! I grow orchids. I have 5 parrot (four rescues), three rescue cats and one SL Star hatchling (one more on the way). My passion is oil painting. I should say that all of my hobbies have been my passion since I was a child in one way or another. When I was very young I would just grow any plant that I could get my hands on. Each hobby has just evolved. Also, after not having a puppy for over 25 years (had a hard time getting over my last Peke), last March I receive a beautiful white Peke that keeps me very busy! I guess that I can say that I love living things that I can nurture.

I'm Dana, I'm boring I don't do anything anymore except take care of my hubby, two kids, two hermit crabs, one Shih Tzu and do ALOT of research on Tortoises. That way when I get my first I'll be prepared. Oh and I like to read...
