Post a pic that deals with your hobby or hobbies. Whether it's arts and crafts, gardening, model building, or in my case:

Freshwater aquarium with live plants! The tank is 125 gallons, 6ft long. The main pieces are discus imported from Asia. Also have a school of over 100 cardinal tetras and a bunch of freshwater shrimp as a cleanup crew. :smile:

Tank is located in the living room and is a great way for me to relax and unwind after a long day at work. Just staring at my little piece of underwater tranquility.

    Awesome tank. I love fish, but keeping them alive is the problem I have :cry:

    I LOVE shoes!!! Cant post any pics because i dont know how. One of my hobbies are purchasing shoes to add to my collection, then rearranging my closet as a showroom. My kids love that my walk in closet looks like a dressing room and so do I

    I'm not sure how to post a pic of this, but I'm an amateur meteorologist. My screen name is my forecasting moniker, as in "Your JenScan forecast, tonight at 11".

    I love forecasting and storm chasing.

    Awesome thread. There is so much variety in here already, and I know there's a LOT more to come! Keep them coming, everyone! :bigsmile:

    I am very much into drawing/painting, although I'm not sure if I can call it a hobby... It's my career as well :) I don't have any recent pictures that I can share here, though. Maybe I'll post some of my old stuff later.

    Another one of my interests is singing, but 1) I can't post a picture of that, and 2) my singing... let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement!

    I don't have any pics of my hobby :(
    I love cross stitch/embroidery/ sewing & dressmaking, i'm never happier than when i have a needle & thread. I mostly do big projects for presents i.e embroidered cushion covers which take 60-80hours or running up to xmas loads of little motifs which i use to make xmas cards.

    My other hobby will be my veg/herb garden, currently digging it all out as our new garden was left overgrown for over 10 years. I can't wait to be eating my own veg, but for now i'm happy with all the digging it's a great workout!

    All you artists are so talented, and fantastic to the rest of the hobbies too! I love nature photography, mostly macro. Here's a couple of my favorites.

    The watermark on the last one is added by the art website I upload my work to.

    My profile pic, hoop dance is my hobby! Also mess with photography some. Been getting into using some film cameras lately...love the unpredictability of it.
    Here's one of my fav shots from it. (Hopefully I managed this properly...hehe)

    So impressed with everyone's hobbies!!

    @mexipino... those are BEAUTIFUL!!! And yes while it is nice to make money doing something you like and are good at... once it became a job it was less fun. Sometimes I wish it was still just a hobby :ohwell:

    @that_girl.... love your mural... and wish I had time to grow my own stuff... :)

    @milisamote... those are GORGEOUS!!!! The first one is my favorite!! I used to make jewelry too at one point but nothing that beautiful!

    Artwork, cross-stitching, knitting.... so much talent here!!! :flowerforyou:
