    Being a keen gardener and photographer, I am envious of people who have the talent to draw the intricacies of plants and at the same time brig them to life. Taking a photograph is one thing but capturing the plant or animal by drawing must give you a great sense of creativity. Often when I am out in the garden with my trusty rototiller or pruning you see things that you wish you could draw. Drawing is more of a signature and more personal than photography where the camera takes this away.
