In mid April, trees in the Schönbuch forest open their buds and quickly cover the forest in new green leaves. These pictures were taken in a time span of approx. 2 weeks (April 11th–27th, 2018).
Note: Some pictures were taken similarly at the same place on different days - in that case, you can select the different days on the buttons beneath the images by hovering the cursor.
