hobbies

I have  two hobbies. My main hobby is fine art Nature photography. 

It is a good outlet. A very creative hobby, makes me feel good, gets me some exercise, outdoors, in nature, and feeds my soul. And it's practically FREE. The one-time cost of the camera, and editing apps, and some ongoing gas usage to get to and from Nature. 

This hobby kept me sane during the 2 years of the Covid pandemic. Instead of being isolated in the house, as there are usually few, if any, groups of people walking about in Nature, I could be outside daily, enjoying the natural environment, I could move around freely, did not need to wear a mask, and did not have to practice social distancing. After 5 years of actively doing this wonderful hobby I have created nearly 4,000 photographic works of art. My website is CoolColorPhotos.com

My second hobby

My second hobby is: playing the lottery. I play the scratch-off tickets. I spend $10 day. I play the $10 scratchers. Maximum win is one million dollars. In participating in this hobby I am mostly using the money I am saving monthly by vaping instead of buying and smoking cigarettes. It's like a $250 monthly savings. And I also play the $2 lottery draw games when the cash jackpot exceeds $100 million. My lottery hobby spending is tightly controlled by me, I don't spend more than I can afford to lose. Why do I play the lottery? Excitement. And hope. Sometimes I win $20. Or $50. Or $400. I could win $1 million. Or $100 million. Miracles can happen. Fantasies can come true. 

My two hobbies. Satisfying. Affordable. They give my life a nice boost, often.
