I hike and hike and hike, but when I'm not chasing photography opportunities on foot I'm still out driving about with even MORE camera gear in tow. Sure, it's what I do now as a job, but I do find ways to be behind the camera even on things not at all related to what I need to be shooting. Give me 15 minutes in my yard without the kids and I'm on my belly finding a frog or cool mold spores to photograph to see what I can learn.
Gardening is also a passion of mine and my native flora interests via photography overflow into our landscape at home. Makes highest quality native flora images easier to take too at the right times of year when I don't need to hike to find them!
Cow pasture pool.....er....golfing...is also enjoyable to me, but I hardly do it lately as if I have time to golf 9 holes, I'd rather take my cameras to a local nature trail for 3-4 hours.
Kite flying---never can fly a kite and not have the time of my life. Oh, and great photo subjects too.
Hmmm....pretty breezy out here in Fall City now...time to go fly a kite with the kids home now!

Thanks MCaver--no one said I was good at cow pasture pool, but it is indeed fun when I have a chance. That's likely the key for me...I don't do it often, so it's unique and fun each time I do! I learned a lot about golfing when I was a kid on the farm I grew up on in Oregon. The old doctor who owned much of the land came out when I was 9 yrs old and had 6-7 clubs that he bought for me from Goodwill. Having 920 acres to grow up on allowed me to find many locations to "create a mock golf course between the cow pies" and I golfed around for many years that way. Upon high school age a few fellas took me to a real course and said I was good. Lessons via the golf team (when I wasn't busy thinking I was a basketball star) and it became natural fun for me!
Now....how do I scare everyone and bring back the golf course that used to exist up by Paradise on MRNP?

XC skiing, downhill with kids at Major hills can only tele ski in Wa cept for crystal. Used to do boats but got sick as it became a job rather than fun same for fishing and hunting.

Car Camping (I do more of this than backpacking - though I just got a new backpack, so that may change)
Photography (if that counts)
Going to take up Whitewater Kayaking as soon as I can afford the gear...*knock on wood*
Occasional XC Skiing
Most other outdoor activities I partake in (aside from Baseball, Soccer, etc) involve a lawnmower, a hacksaw or a broom...

and buy some ww kayaking gear You do such a great service for us yakers. We all know your site well. I use it all the time for exploring possible kayak runs.
So, when I'm not kayaking and running waterfalls, I'm out hiking, looking for more water to float downhill on.
Other than that, when the water freezes, I go to those same spots and strap on a snowboard.
I feel like I can do something fun every single day of the year in the PNW. Gotta love this place.
