Komorebi

 I recently discovered a new word: komorebi

 It is a Japanese word that refers to "sunlight shining through the trees"

 
Related, but less often used, is the word hamorebi

which refers to "the sun peaking through the leaves" instead of the branches or trunk

 
What strikes me most about these words...the mere fact of them....is that they indicate that these are things people actually talk about, or have needed to talk about. 
Otherwise these words wouldn't exist. 
 
 
I would like to know the word for "sun shining through long grass".
 

 And also the word for 
"accidental discovery of small new lives in nature you hadn't encountered before"
 
 
And finally: what is the word for "sunlight falling on new green shoots"?
 

These are a few things I would like to be talking about.
