What turns you on? Hobby, pastime, sport......what do you love?
We have golfers, cyclist, musicians, artists, hunters, fishermen and women, collectors etc.....
I know I ask this every couple years but I really enjoy hearing about what you all do...

Would love to see pictures too......

Family first and foremost, golfing, photography, sewing (this many grandkids (#11 on the way) means busy times at sewing machine!).
And up until yesterday - believe it or not - my job was also my passion.

Well, you're not going to catch my bass, cuz I'm burnin' up the fingerboard!
My passions are, in this order:
*Husband
*Father
*Bass player
*Singer
I love the first two because they are rewards unto themselves, and I love the last two because they are not only rewards unto themselves, but they can be tools to help raise money for those who need it.

Spending time with my wife and daughter--and fly fishing for trout.
Ellen and me at Kilpatrick Bridge on the west side of Silver Creek Preserve south of Sun Valley, near the Purdy Ranch. Early season, a couple of years ago. We're just checking things out.
You can't see it, but there's a nice PMD hatch starting up, and the rainbows are coming off their lies to take the mayfly duns as they pop to the surface. A PMD hatch is a lovely thing--the duns on the surface with their wings upright resemble a flotilla of tiny boats with butter-colored sails.
I like it here.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

My passion is my Wife and doing things together no matter what it is from work to play.
Raising my kids to be respectable adults.
Church
Sitting in a tree with my bow and arrows waiting for deer.
Walleye fishing or fishing in general (Barb loves to fish to!)
Just spending relaxing time Up North at our place and doing nothing.

My passion is rather strange and wonderful, it is an intelligent persuit, well read, requires periods of self analysis and introspection. It is an unusual mix of what is good, what is familliar yet new, comfortable yet exciting, soft yet firm. My passion is far away but with every step and beat of my heart; my passion is with me all the way. 
My other passions are: Biology/electrical engineering, cooking and animals. I have to list cleaning the house because if I don't think of it that way I'll live in a pig pen. LOL

Paul that was lovely
My passions - my family, immediate and extended.
OUCH US, an over-riding passion without doubt.
Reading
Cooking
Entertaining, I love having friends to stay or visit.
Walking, especially with Paul up in the Adirondacks. That is Heaven on Earth for me, I truly love it there.
I love to drive, I love listening to music, I enjoy decorating, taking photo's, embroidery - I like learning new things.
I've learned sometimes the greatest pleasures in life can be planning things. When life is such that you can't realise your dreams straight away, thinking of them and planning the future, day dreaming about the joys to come is a lovely way to pass time but it's important never to lose sight of today while anticipating tomorrow ...
Which is why my greatest "need" at the moment is my phone and hotmail. They keep me smiling while waiting

Sorry about all the pics, but I am genuinely passionate about this stuff!

I have many hobbies that I enjoy from music to arts to painting to cooking ...
But what I really am passionate about is to learn about myself and others , human psychology is fascinating to me.

wow. I have really thought about this topic today Jackie, and it really made me examine my emotional expenses.
I used to be passionate about painting and cooking.
But I tend to be obsessive about anything new I do, and for that reason, I detach so as not to let the other areas of my life "slide"- I do that all too often to the detriment of every other area. I suck at that!
Now I enjoy painting, cooking, fishing, my job, billiards, gardening, you folks, and finding new and creative ways to get out of emptying the dishwasher
