Artists like Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keefe, Henry Moore and Matisse have all had their artwork influenced by the natural surroundings they encountered.

Depending on the time of year you're watching this will determine if you can find any leaves or not. But if you can, I want you to dry them out and draw on them. The drawing can be anything you want. You may want to use a white ink pen like this, or a metallic pen or Sharpee to make the drawing process easier. If you can't find any leaves, then you may want to collect some small branches or twigs and integrate it into your drawing theme or concept.
