hobby
A hobby is a recreational pursuit or passionate pastime which is practiced outside of working hours. Some examples of indoor hobbies include baking, sewing, furniture restoration, practicing a musical instrument, painting, antique collecting, and playing video games. Outdoor hobbies such as playing sports, fishing, boating, bird watching, gardening, hiking, historical reenactments, and swimming are also popular. Many indoor hobbies have been linked to the development of greater eye-hand coordination and increased creativity. Among other things, outdoor hobbies are often associated with the development of an increased appreciation for nature as well as enhancing teamwork skills.
Many dream of turning their hobbies into a business, while others use their hobbies to help them deal with the stresses of the working day, as a form of creative expression, or as a way to bond with others.
Some interesting hobby blogs are Strobist Photography Blog, Cold Climate Gardening, Eric's Origami, and South Carolina Birder.
