"Azalea Study"

One of my college professors said "to study and draw an object is to know it".  Intense looking gives you a lot of information.  Many botanical artist know that and produce beautiful paintings in extremely great detail.  From time to time I enjoy that intense study of something and recording what I see in detail.  Knowing that a camera can do this in a split second does not deter me from seeking the joy that I get when I do studies like this.
