Here is a revised version of "nature walk"

     I strolled through the forest, leaves and twigs crunching under my foot, it was a peaceful day. There was a slight breeze blowing through the trees, their elegant branches swaying in the wind, their emerald green leaves fluttering in the breeze. It was morning, so I could see mist coming up from the river. The mist was angelic, but ominous looking. The clouds in the sky were few, but the ones in the sky were a dazzling shade of white, and looked fluffy, like cotton in the sky. Most of the trees were oak, but there were some maple and birch mixed in, the white trunks of the birch trees standing out appealingly against the brown trunks of the oak and maple trees. I saw an oak leaf on the ground. I picked it up and examined it. It was deep green with a few blotches, yellow like sunshine.I carefully put it in my pocket, trying not to fold it. It felt different. I took it out and carefully examined it. There were a few tiny spiders on the leaf. They were light green, but they still blended in well. Not wanting to disturb them even more, I dropped the leaf on the ground, the leaf slowly fluttering through the air towards the ground. Not knowing where to go next, I went in the direction that the leaf pointed. As I came near the river a few minutes later, I saw a deer skeleton. A few bones were missing. The remaining bones were stained white, most likely a remnant of the decayed flesh. I thought it was cool because it's not something me, or any other person would normally see while in the woods. I walked carefully to the edge of the river. It was at a point where it was rapids. The water splashing over all the rocks looked beautiful. I crept closer to the edge so I could get a better view, and I fell in.
