When we have worked continuously for some time we need relaxation. To pursue hobbies is the best way of relaxing. My favourite hobbies are gardening, stamp collecting and photography.

I have loved gardening since my child hood. I enjoy watering my garden every morning evening. If gives me enough physical exercise and sends me back to my work with renewed zest and vigour. It is very amusing digging up fresh beds for new plants. I grow color flowers as well as vegetables. I beam with satisfaction when cast my eyes on my luxuriant garden. The sight of the lively garden is increasingly refreshing. It’s look like as a small green land. Cool wind flowers good smell in garden.

My second hobby is stamp-collecting. I have collected hundreds of stamps. I have arranged them in six books. My uncle son, who often goes abroad on job as software engineer, has been helping me to collect rare stamps. He sends me foreign stamps with my precious stamp books, arranging new stamps in them and writing in the names of countries. Each stamp has a story tell me of distant lands stage peoples. Looking though the stamps, I can follow the history of nations.

I also love photography. Whenever I go for a picnic or on excursion or travel round a strange place, I take my camera with me and snap interesting objects. I have a number of valuable snapshots, some of them highly recreational.

*One way to learn more about nature is to take nature walks. There are, however, certain rules that you must always follow when in a natural environment. Any litter should be carried back and thrown into a dustbin. Don’t pluck flowers or take away any birds or animals. The only thing you can carry away is your memory of all that you saw and did and felt that day.
