Once again, this is a perfect description on how it shows in reality.

This is right. Just like in a car at high speed on a dual carrigeway, look out the side window towards your side of the road at close trees as they pass by and the leaves are just a blur. The leaves on the trees slightly ahead of you though are easy to focus on, as are the ones on the other side of the road as you pass by them.
