From a distance. I see a big fat tree with falling leaves. I hear a rustling similar to the ocean

 

Close up. I see all the imperfections in the wood. Tree wax almost the same as honey.

 

Above me. leaves swaying like the waves at a beach and leaves falling down like mini parachutes.

 

Below me. Soggy dirt-like powder with roots parachuting from the ground, crunchy leaves and stiff twigs.
