England's Green and Pleasant Land

As I've got older I've noticed that my walks in the countryside are getting shorter. Regardless of this I can't help breathing in all the beauty that surrounds us in my area, I absolutely love it.

I was just going through a gate into this small wooded area and stopped to look at the view of the path in front of me. I was taken by the green colours in the sunlight and I was reminded of the hymn "Jerusalem", and the line of "England's Green and Pleasant Land". Here is a link to enjoy it:
