Drawing is a way of seeing. It's a tool to pay attention to the things we overlook in daily life. If you want to see nature better, try drawing the scenery on a piece of paper.

It will force you to pay attention to the smallest details. It will "open" your eyes to see the things that you missed in plain sight. Image
