Golf for me. And sometimes shooting pictures of the blue umbrella. There is no significance to the blue umbrella, other than it's the color I had and also it is a visit Missouri umbrella. The blue dome on the Capitol is honoring fallen law enforcement officers. It will stay blue for the month of May. http://fox2now.com/2018/05/01/missouri-capitol-dome-to-be-lit-in-blue-for-fallen-officers/
I like the meaning of the blue dome Rufe.

I love seeing everyone's hobbies!! 
A few years ago, my wife and I took a trip to England and I got hooked on castles and anything Medieval, especially Knights in shining armour.
Back home I started collecting anything from paintings to Knight figurines. I even have the Excalibur hanging on the wall.
My project for this Summer is a Knight with the Moon shining on his shoulder, and a miniature campfire lighting up his front.
I'm sure I'll have to take dozens of shots before I get it right.....

Yes know, like you all photography is a hobby but in this hobby, by error this past weekend I discovered, with help, something new and interesting. On my Canon on the top right there is atiny button ( which I hit by mistake ) and my photos wer dark all around except for a light spot in the center. On camera it shows a O and I don't know the word in English but it normally is a black O. I lightened this photo up but the center spot is still visible,,,,,that night I went to bed a bit less dumb than when a had awakened that morning.

Nice challenge, my passion other than photography is genealogy. I have been doing research on my family tree for well over 30 years and have traced one family line back to 1135. Here is a collage of a few of my ancestors.

It's always fun to photograph your hobbies and show off your collections-Try to think of ways to present them that are pleasing to the eye and consider light and composition, too, while you are at it...I'm hoping to see a
wide range of interesting subjects! I'll start off with a few of my antique dolls-most of which are over one hundred years young....
So fire away...have fun!

Your antique dolls are gorgeous. What is the oldest doll you have?

Very neat, Lori! It's a surprise what you can find in archives! So much information- a trip to Ellis Island, NY. is an eye opener!

Several years ago I got info from my mother and aunt on my father's side and wrote in a family tree in a book I have that is called: Of Swedish Ways.

Great photos. There are a lot of golf courses with some great scenery. Here in Colorado in the town of Estes Park we share our golf course with the Elk who don't like to be bothered when they sleep on the green.
