Next to watching chicken tv, my second favorite hobby for the past several years has been fossil-hunting. (Still a distant second to watching chicken tv.) Hunting for fossils is a true treasure hunt, and it's especially awesome to find a rare fossil (i.e. one I don't have yet) as well as gigantic specimens representing their species. The ultimate find is an intact fossil species in matrix, but it's rare to find those since major floods usually wash bones away. I usually only go hunting after major floods, since that is the best time to find the best fossils before someone else spies and scoops them up. It's very tranquil down on a river or creek bed hearing nothing but streaming water and various birdsong while I hunt. I Could sell the fossils if I wanted to, but I prefer to keep them for my own enjoyment. One day when I leave this good earth, someone else can possess and enjoy my finds.

What do you like to do in your spare time? Listen to music, watch movies, take drives, visit museums, there must be something?

One of my many hobbies is photography. I do OK at it, and consider myself to be semi-pro (meaning I do occasionally make money off of it but it's not my main income source). To me, a photograph is a memory of a moment in time. A visual document of something I found to be interesting or exciting, or a record of a similar moment in someone else's life (via portraits or event photography). I tend to shy away from people photography and focus more on tings that don't blink or cry, or ask you to make them look less fat in post. Here's a few examples.
