Photography, with my ever-changing collection of vintage cameras (I still have a real darkroom).
Cycling, which I can combine with the above (I usually bring a camera on my rides).
I own a clarinet, which I 'play' in the sense that sounds come out of it that occasionally resemble music.
I like to cook, and bake, though I'm not sure that counts as a hobby, as it needs to happen anyway.
Like presumably most of the people here, I spend a good chunk of my day staring at screens of various sorts, so I like to be able to do things that get me away from that.

Ham Radio - I like CW ("Continuous Wave" which usually employs an on/off keyer and Morse Code), QRP (seeing how far away you can reach someone with minimum possible power) and modern digital mesh networks like APRS and AREDN
Guitar - I have a nylon string (acoustic, Flamenco style with low action) and like to play Bossa Nova and Jazz

Martial Arts - Tae Kwon Do
Guitar - Jazz, Classic Rock, Metal, Blues
Bread Baking - enjoy making several different kinds of breads by hand from scratch.
Candy Making - I'm "famous" amongst my circle of friends for the caramels I make. I'm particularly fond of my toffee and nut brittle and my marshmallows are out of this world.

I'm actually surprised others here bake bread. I assumed it was pretty rare.
