みなさん、こんにちは!名古屋なごやでは、しばらく雨あめの日ひが続つづいていました。でも、やっと晴はれて、久ひさしぶりに太陽たいようが出でました☀️天気てんきがよかったので、森林浴しんりんよくに行いきました🌿洪水こうずいの後あとだったので、道みちがぬかるんでいて、歩あるくのが少すこし大変たいへんでしたけど、自然しぜんを感かんじることができました!

森もりの中なかでは、木きの葉はの間あいだから太陽たいようの光ひかりが差さし込こんでいて、とてもきれいでした✨このような光ひかりを「木漏こもれ日び」と言いいます。木漏こもれ日びが好すきな人ひとも多おおいですよね!「このやさしい光ひかりの中なかで仕事しごとをしたい!」と思おもいました🥺木漏こもれ日びを見みると、心こころが落おち着つきます😌

それから、草くさむらでキジのカップルを見みつけました!二羽にわのキジが一緒いっしょにいて、とてもかわいかったです☺️野生やせいのキジを見みれるのはとても珍めずらしいので、本当ほんとうにラッキーでした⭐️野生やせいの動物どうぶつに出会であえるのも、自然しぜんの魅力みりょくの一ひとつですね!

そして、夕方ゆうがたにはきれいな夕日ゆうひも見みることができました🌇空そらの色いろがだんだん変かわって、とてもすてきでした!ずっと雨あめで洪水こうずいも起おきてしまって、少すこし落おち込こんでいましたが、自然しぜんに癒いやされてリフレッシュできました👍また自然しぜんの中なかを歩あるきたいです😊

Hello everyone! We had quite a few rainy days here in Nagoya. But finally, the sun came out again after a while! Since the weather was nice, I decided to go forest bathing and spend some time in nature.
Because it was after the flooding, the paths were still muddy, so walking was a little difficult. But it was wonderful to be surrounded by nature again!

In the forest, sunlight was shining through the leaves of the trees, and it was absolutely beautiful.
This beautiful sunlight filtering through the trees is called komorebi in Japanese. Many people love komorebi, and I can definitely see why!
I found myself thinking, “I want to work surrounded by this gentle light!”
There was something so peaceful about it. Watching the komorebi made me feel calm and relaxed.

Then, I spotted a pair of pheasants in the grass! They were walking around together, and they were so cute.
It’s quite rare to see wild pheasants, so I felt really lucky!
Being able to encounter wild animals is definitely one of the wonderful things about spending time in nature.

And finally, in the evening, I got to see a beautiful sunset.
The colors of the sky gradually changed, and it was such a lovely sight!
After all the rain and the flooding, I had been feeling a little down. But spending time in nature helped me feel refreshed and renewed.
I definitely want to go for another walk in nature soon!
