Hello myLotters. I have a number of hobbies. But, my favorite hobbies are writing short stories and taking photos. I travel in my country and overseas too some times on holidays and on business trips. I would very much enjoy taking photos of the places I get to visit. I have a huge collection of beautiful photos of the wonderful places I have been to, historical places, amazing architectures, scenic national parks. How about you ? What is your favorite hobby ? Please share.

I very much enjoy taking pictures when I travel abroad. There are many scenic places in the countries there, and the pictures I take become reminders of the places visited.

Photography is fun, i thought about being a photographer wen i was in high school. I'll probably do that as a hobby some time. I took a photography class in high school and my teacher gave me a broken camera so i had to do the assignment all over again. I was the only student that was behind in my class

Hey greenline! I would say that my favorite hobby is re-doing things. Like re-painting or staining furniture or re-decorating or some kind of project like that! But, since I am a bit lazy and a procrastinator it takes me awhile between projects and they mostly are just "thoughts" that never get done!

Hello Opal. Nice to see you. That is very interesting. I would say you are a perfectionist ! Re-dong things to make them perfect, right ? You know, that is really very needed especially for handi-crafts and artworks.

Hi. greenline. My favorite hobby is reading. I enjoy surfing the Internet in my spare time. I also love to look in magazines and catalogs too. I enjoy organizing my things into the correct categories at home too. It feels so good when my things are right where I need them to be.

How are you. Nice to see you. Internet is a very enjoyable place to spend the time these days. Internet has become the information highway carrying tons of information on a broad variety of subjects. Many interesting things to learn too.

Mine is watching greyhounds race (from the comfort of my TV room) and betting on them. Since it pulls me an average of $26,000 a year it's a fairly lucrative hobby, and I have taught my partner how to do it so that when I die (in the next couple of years, most likely, I'm not well) she won't have to do without that money. It helps that she likes the doggies too. Lash

Hi grandpa. How are you ? I am so sorry to hear that you are not well. I wish you will be well and will have a long life. You are doing very well guiding your partner on the lucrative hobby. That sounds very lucrative, indeed ! I wish you all the best !

Thank you for the good wishes, but realistically I will not be making old bones. Still, 67 is far older than I expected to be, and I might get a few more years, but not very comfortable ones. Once it gets too painful and difficult I will choose my own time to go. It is of great comfort for me to know that the girl will be financially OK. Lash

wow thats cool, traveling would be my favorite hobby but i don't travel. I used to like writing short stories and writing poetry but i have stopped. I guess now my favorite hobby is learning new things. If i don't know how to do something, learn how to do it you know? There are a lot of things i would like to learn, a new language, build something, etc

Learning new things is always very interesting, yes indeed. There are so many things to explore and learn. I fully agree with you. I am always amazed with many languages spoken in countries around the world.

I love to write too. My latest hobby is oil painting. I have had a great love for writing since I was a small child but I have only been oil painting for a couple of years now. I don't have much time for either lately. Makes me kind of sad not to be able to pursue some fun stuff.

There's a lot of things I wanted to do such as cooking, reading, making beaded jewelries and drawing. I enjoy drawing since my early childhood. I usually participated in drawing activities in school. I really enjoy staring into something and try if I can do it on my own. Experimenting enhanced my ability in cooking especially dessets. But all these now falls into one..and that is scrapbooking. I love reconstructing pictures and make them the way I want it to be with additional decorative scrap to make it even memorable. These even developed my creativity. Lucky I am, this hobby and making beaded jewelries augmented my source of income in some simple ways. Happy mylotting.

ohhh Great Even I love photography, its one of my few favorate hobbies :), The only problem being is that I don't own a DSLR :(. But I would be buying one soon, its really fun to go around taking beautiful pictures and experimenting with different types of photography, Black and white and macro photography interest me a lot :). One of my best hobby though is "astrology". I can spend any amount of time in that without being bored :). Astrology is one great tool to find out the past, present, future of an individual, though its one of the toughest and never ending subjects in the world, the more you study the more you discover. research in astrology interest me a lot. I really look forward to do some good qualitative research in astrology in near future. regards Ashish.

Thank you for sharing by the way. I also enjoy taking photos of beautiful places that I've been to. But my favorite hobbies are playing sports and surfing the internet. Is that even a hobby or an addiction already? :_) Anyway, the sports that I love to play are badminton and table tennis. Mostly indoor sports where I need not to expose myself under the extreme heat of the sun here in my country. That's just about it. Best of luck

Yes, indeed, there are many beautiful and scenic places in your country. Well, surfing the internet is very popular among many people, a way of relaxation for some and doing business for others. Table tennis is a very fast game, indeed ! Thank you.

Hello my friend Greenline. My favorite hobby is traveling to different countries in the world. This year I took my disabled toddler son and baby daughter to Vancouver and we had an excellent time. When I was pregnant with my baby daughter last year my son and I traveled to Cape Town and the Garden Route. I love to take photos when I am on my travels. I have a collection of costume dolls from around the world. I like to bring back some coins or bank notes for my collection of currency from around the world. I enjoy writing stories and reading novels. So you can see traveling and collecting things to do with travel is what I like to do.

I wish he will improve. Yes, I am always very impressed with your travel experiences to many countries around the world. Always very interesting to read about your travels. I am sure you have volumes of photos of places you have visited. Best wishes to you !

That's nice. Those are certainly very nice ways to relax and get refreshed in the spare time. I used to play volley-ball every evening before. That was my favorite game. I still feel like going out to the court and play volley-ball.
