Trees see the world as we see time-lapse photography. There's a line from a Terry Pratchett (I think) book that says something like "The trees wondering who keeps switching the lights on and off".

(I can't find the actual darn quote).

It's poetic. Our time scale is trivial in the scope of the universe, whilst quantum time scales are trivial to ours.
