The way Hergé (creator of Tintin) draws trees. It’s so charming. I want to work this into my own drawing style.
This photo is from a drawing he left in a guestbook while visiting Denmark. It’s on display at the royal library in Copenhagen.

Take a picture of one tree throughout the entirety of autumn . There is probably some coffee-table metaphor about how you change like the trees or something but I am just vain. It’s just beautiful and nice to keep tabs on one tree. I have a tree near my work. His name is Robert and he is mine. He is going through a ginger phase right now though I suspect that he soon will be bald. Read more in my latest substack article

Because they’re pretty. A good tree can come in many forms. It could be bare, just the branches. Or flowering, or with leaves. I saw one the other day that looked like barbed wire. My favourites are in Jamaica, but the good thing about photographing trees is they could be anywhere.

Apart from the obvious (easy way to get more exercise and time outside, cheap, good for the environment), something I really value is the different view of your city that it gives you.
You aren’t bound to avoiding traffic, and it’s usually safer to go avoid main roads, so you end up on some lovely backstreets that you never would have otherwise seen. You also get routed through parks and along the water. Because it’s so easy to pull over and park anywhere, you stop to enjoy things more often too.
I find I interact with and feel way more connected to my city as a cyclist. I‘ve found so many cool spots from having biked by them.
This is a photo from my bike commute before I moved🥲

if you live in melbourne (aus), find a nice spot in yarra bend park, watch the sunset, and stay a little longer to watch the bats making their nightly trek to get food. there are thousands & thousands of them right overhead. so insanely beautiful. bonus points right now cause the babies have just gotten old enough to join along and they are just the sweetest things.
