What type of hobbies do you have?

[silverwolf1]

I really believe the thread should be about the different hobbies we have, and not another "acceptance" argument. Lets try going back on topic here, and make a separate thread in the appropriate place for acceptance debate based on hobbies. I enjoy reading what hobbies we have in common, and where some have odd or different hobbies. I draw no conclusions from them, nor should I as a hobby is just a hobby and the sampling size here is small. 




My hobbies are many and diverse. I believe a strong mind and body are heavily related to the variety of our pursuits. A list of my most prominent hobbies:




Photography; writing; drawing; gardening; traditional woodworking and stoneworking; book collecting; computer building; hunting & fishing; wildlife rehabilitation; military history (gun collecting falls in here too); antiques; archaeology; tearing apart and rebuilding just about anything and many more. 




My Vocation, as many know, is horses, their training and breeding. They are also my strongest hobby. I both ride and drive horses, and use them as draft animals in my farming and gardening pursuits.  




I've learned in my short 55 years that any hobby can be enjoyed just as an interest grows, by reading and studying if finances forbid more, by creating your own if buying is impossible etc. Many times your hobby may become your job, and you get to earn by what you love. Always grow your interests.
