OMG Sunny, those photos took my breath away; not only because of the beauty but also because of the memories they evoked.

Ever since childhood I've had a recurring dream.  The dream itself deals with a horrible event but at the same time I am overwhelmed with peace and serenity.  The location of this dream is almost identical to that portrayed in the photos.  The only thing missing is a gently flowing brook and mossy ground.

Great word, Sunny.  Did you learn how to pronounce it?

It's pronounced....Ko-Mo-RAY-Bee

Thank you sidsmom! Ko Mo RAY bee. All my life I've admired such beauty but never knew it had a name. I just thought it was sunlight shining through beautiful leaves. I didn't know it had a name. Now I know what it's called.

Last night I also sat on my back porch admiring the beauty of a bright moon through the woods.   I wonder how many of us were admiring the same thing.

@TNRatPack Yes, and tonight is the blue moon!

@sunala Thanks for sharing lovely pics and teaching us a new word too!

Beautiful pictures.  I tried to think of a word in English to describe this and....your right...can't seem to get it to one word!  Filtered sunlight sounded terrible and then I came up with "sun, peeking through the trees"....way too long and sounds like the first line of a poem..Ha!  I really never thought about this before.  Interesting post.  One of my English teachers required us to learn a new word every week.  Never thought about doing it in a different language. Great idea!

Thank you for sharing this.  Komorebi is one of my favorite sights.  It always makes me stop and enjoy.  Like the rest of you, I appreciate now having the perfect word to use.

And @TNRatPack, I was also watching the moonlight filtering through the clouds.

I am making an effort to use "komorebi" a lot from now on so the word will stay with me.

It's a beautiful sight and nice to know there's a word in at least one language to describe it !!
