      Just getting outdoors – cross-country skiing in the winter, bicycling and soccer in the summer, and hiking in the fall. Trekking with camels in Kenya ranks up there, too. :{}

      I love to backpack through the wilderness and camp along the way. I’m also an avid vegetable gardener – just harvested the first asparagus of the season yesterday!

      Camping is great. Always nice to go into the woods for a while.

      I have many favorite things.
      Did you notice all the answers so far involve being outside? I like those things, too: I cycle, hike, backpack, and garden.
      I like photography. I take my camera on hiking and backpacking trips, into my garden and in trips in the car. I take pictures of landscapes, sunrises and sunsets, cloud formations, plants and flowers, birds, insects, spiders, and so many other things. I am fascinated with the way light and shadows interact with water, with reflections, and often take pictures of water drops, raindrops, or snowflakes. I also take pictures of my son and his teammates at cross country and track meets.
      I also make things. I like to bake; recipes are a point of departure, not a destination. I paint using soil as the pigment. I make items using leather, and build things with wood. Sometimes I have a pattern, but often I design the things myself.
      I enjoy reading and studying the Bible, and thinking about how science and faith fit with one another because so many people think they contradict one another.
      I like to read fiction, and I play guitar and sing.

      I like everything that involve to be outside, mainly music concerts in the street. Yes, probably listening some music while I drink something with my friends and chat about everything is what I like the best.
      I also enjoy reading and practice tennis or swimming.
