If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain 'cause
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
....and so on
The Teddy Bear's Picnic

Be careful of the black bear problems we've been having.... and I don't mean a Teddy Bear's picnic.
I would see trees swaying, leaves falling, squirrels playing and birds singing.

I would be watching where I walked in the woods because there is not much sunlight coming down because of all the trees. I would be listening to my feet stepping on leaves or rocks or to the sound of creatures scampering about. I would also be on the look out for any flash of orange which means that hunters might be in the area, hunting for game (although I don't think it is that season yet!).
Edited: We used to live on a mountain with 11 acres of woods, and I'm speaking from experience, lol.

There's a bridle path right behind my house and beautiful woods... so when Chopin (my horse) and I go down to the woods... he stops at all my favourite spots and neighs as if to say .... 'are you happy?' and I reassure him that I am totally filled with joy because I am at one with my surroundings

If I went down to the woods, I wouldn't see anything 'cuz I'd be dreaming 'cuz there ain't no woods anywhere around here. This is pretty much what we got around here:
It does turn green about 2 weeks out of the year, so there's that.
This is what I'd like to see and where I wanted to live:

Some years ago, some close friends of mine returned from their office to their nearby home. The house is two-story, reasonably modern, built in the mid 1980s. They must not have fully shut their front door, and they found it quite ajar. They walked in and found there was a black bear that, not making it into the kitchen & the food, had however gone into the small laundry room, found a cupboard... and had made a mess and was ingesting powdered laundry detergent!! One of my friends went round to the back door, advanced through the dining room, in the direction of the laundry room, making noise & projecting fierce vibes. The startled bear got frightened and scrammed out through the open front door! They closed & locked their doors.
These friends are mild, reserved types who run a small publishing business. Circumstances simply compelled them to get a grip.
So far as they knew, they never spotted that particular bear again, at least not near their house.

Today? Quite likely volunteer firefighters at work back burning in preparation for what is looking like a really bad fire season.

If I were to go to the woods today, I'm sure to search for fruit leather and mushrooms!

Gary, I guess our British Columbia bears are usually a little more reserved than those in Oregon. (Or our doors are more stoutly built.)

Miss the palpable silence of the New England woods on an afternoon in autumn, the maples standing tall, flinging bright leaves against an azure blue sky
I would well imagine yer bears are bigger
Maybe they're more well fed?
Our blackies go around 400 to 500 lbs or so
This one (a yearling) dressed out at just under 400 lbs
My cabin doors are quite stout
But
They're inside opening due to snow load
Makes it a bit easier for Mr Bear
But haven't had to stand the test
However, my buds in SE Alaska have had some adverse experiences
