    Walking down the street, the trees were beautiful.

    I love to see trees walking down the street. It's not something you see every day!

    Here are a few possible fixes:

    As I was walking down the street, I admired the beautiful trees.

    -- or --

    I was in awe of the beautiful trees I saw as I was walking down the street.

    I saw the trailer peeking through the window.

    Trailers do not usually have eyes:

    Peeking through the window, I saw the trailer.

    -- or --

    As I was peeking through the window I saw the trailer

    Reaching the station, the sun came out.

    This next one requires some additional interpretation:

    Just as the train was reaching the station, the sun came out.

    -- or --

    The sun came out just as the train was reaching the station.

    We saved the scraps of meat for the dog that had been left on our plates.

    Covered in mustard and relish, I enjoyed the hot dog.

    Covered in cream cheese, my friends will love these bagels.

    After eating all their food, we put the cats outside.

    Dipped in yogurt, many people love fresh strawberries.

    I gave olives to my friend that I stabbed with my fork. (That’s one way to say, “I’m sorry.”)
