Walk in the trees, or walk around the trees?

Question

Which might be the correct option to go with? I'm utterly confused and I haven't found the right answer anywhere. Please answer it with explanation.

A) I walked in the trees, looking at the sunlight falling through the leaves above me.

B) I walked around the tress, looking at the sunlight falling through the leaves above me.

Answer 1

I say the second sentence is correct.

The first sentence is with "in", therefore "in" would possibly be misinterpreted to be walking "inside" a tree.

But if I where you. I would prefer to say:

I walked in the forest, looking at the sunlight falling through the leaves above me.

Or "between":

I walked between the trees, looking at the sunlight falling through the leaves above me.

Or also with "among":

I walked among the trees, looking at the sunlight falling through the leaves above me.
