    Thanks you both Ruth and Keelin about Kelvin. Quite a bold character don’t you think?

    And Then He Fell In Completely looks quite like a close up of my beloved hairy dog. Love it Keelin.
    And although not B&W Ruth, your landscape gives the abstract feel of a B&W. Great sunset on the gallery too btw!

    Zorro must have been there Michael. A nice bridge between the two trails, as well.

    Welcome Ruth. Nice pictures. I will try to help.

    On the first one I see a nice altocumulus undulatus, so unfortunately no fluctus or Kelvin Helholtz in my opinion.

    The second one reminded me of the Cloud of the Month February 2021 (the most recent one).
    February Cloud of the Month

    High in the middle I see three fallstreak holes in what seems to be cirrocumulus. That’s what your spotting has in common with the Cloud of the Month in February. Middle left there are more of them. Close to the horizon the thicker patch of clouds might be altocumulus.

    I’d say this is a nice capture. Well spotted! I wish you lots of fun with cloudspotting.

    Great wooly carpet in #116 Michael.

    Ruth, your third example of the pink waterfall triggered a different thought. I see what seems to be sunrays bend to the left and this makes me think the pink waterfalls may be virga. Giving it another look the former two examples also show the bending. When it really is virga, the difference in winds speeds at different height make the falling streaks of virga bend. The setting sun behind you colors the virga nicely pink. What do you think? I now tend to virga.

    Love the ghostly appearances on #733 Michael. And Home Alone is very funny Keelin. Our dog was a puppy once……. She would love to sleep on the carpet in #734 from Michael.

    Apparently we were posting simultaneously Keelin. Yes I can see the weasel and the camel as well. A pity for them they were so short lived.

    Love your Foxy Fellow Keelin. I think I understand why he seems to be worried. This sly fellow is maybe on his guard for he spotted a Bold Headed Eagle on the wing.

    Nice pink waterfalls Ruth. To be sure whether these are anticrepuscular rays one must know the position of the sun. The rays must point to the antisolar point and (so) the sun must have been behind you when you took the photo. That might be the case for we don’t seem to look at the place where the suns sets. Is that right?

    I feel like one of your lovely Cloud Cloudspotters Keelin. Watching out for thingy’s to appear in the clouds. I had a good laugh about it!. Great to start the day with.

    And is it an unwanted intervention of the spelling check that wanted to give me back my parabolic vision? I promise that sure will help and I hope to be back here soon. I keep my head in the sky.

    Just being a bit nerdy I had to check your statement about cirrus and KH, Gregory. The International Cloud Atlas (ICA) says:

    Cirrus, usually of the species spissatus, sometimes shows mamma or fluctus.

    This is the link (somehow I can’t add a link the way I used after the recent update of the website): https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/supplementary-features-and-accessory-clouds-cirrus.html

    Nevertheless Julia, that does not mean I think you spotted KH. I agree with Gregory they “may just be some cirrus streaks in the shape of waves”.

    I am sure there will be another occasion you will spot KH. Success!

    Dreaming Of The Midnight Sun is fantastic Keelin. A sleeping arctic fox with one ear on a colorful pillow.  Also a great corona btw and I loved to see it also on the gallery.

    Soccer anyone is very funny and I’d love to play soccer Ruth. But for some reason my pareidolic eye has abandoned me for a while. I will come back to play when the clouds will unveil new thingy’s to me.

    Don’t wanna spoil the fun but I am not sure about the HV Ruth. Nice snowscape Gregory. No snow anymore here, just a lot of wind.
