To me a "large aperture" means that the opening of the lens is wide, so the f-number is low, like f/2.8. A "small aperture" to me means that the lens opening is small, which translates into an f-stop such as f/16 or f/22 (you may need to start worrying about diffraction at these small apertures, particularly with a high pixel-density sensor).
I do agree, that the posted images tend to be in focus somewhere within the image. If the OP wants more DOF, then he should stop-down his lens.

I try to be specific and use large and small to describe aperture and F values to describe aperture settings. Was the more difficult of concepts for me to grasp as a noob. I'm sure it is for others as well.

But as you can see from pic 2 and 3 the trees and the edges of the photos seem to be out of focus or blurry. I would much rather have the whole picture to be crisp.

Sometimes you can't get the wind to cooperate either. And even with just a marginally slow shutter, those pesky branches and leaves can move on you.
