It is spring right now and it is the time of the year where everything is growing and coming back to life in nature. In the south of the province I live in there is this beautiful forest that has wild garlic in it and this time of year these plants look really nice when they are blooming. The forest floor is covered in white and it just looks so nice something that is really interesting to photograph and to portray spring. This forest is called Savelsbos and it's located outside of the town of Margraten.
Some areas inside of this forest are off-limits because they are protected. As I was walking through the forest I noticed a few damaged plants and newly made tracks through the plants. This is something I just can't understand people do. I am all for trying to get a special shot in order to get a unique composition but I won't go as far as obviously breaking the rules and damaging plant/wildlife. There is plenty of awesome shots to take here even when you just stick to the marked roads and paths.
Luckily there was not a lot of damaged plants and wildlife t spot aside from a few places. The wild garlic is actually a protected plant and it is obviously forbidden to take them away, or destroy them.
These flowers will only be in this state and have this look for the next coming weeks and when summer comes the white flowers will be gone. The forest really smells like onion and garlic during this time of year and we don't have a lot of forest around where this plant grows. Below you can see a couple more shots that I took in this forest. I really liked strolling around here taking it easy and enjoying nature.
