Keelin, you were very lucky with your 22 degrees halo and circumhorizontal arc as Underline. A Cloud Dancer by Michael is having a party on it I suppose. More beauties by Ariel and Ruth and at last Aeolus at Play (my guess).
Stay Tuned!
I love Lights Out, Ruth. Geat colors and composition. Maybe a bit late, but I love Cursive Cloudscript too, Keelin. Michael you keep amazing with #1450 the winter landscape according to Bill), #1453 and the three fingers in #1454.
Let’s finish this volume of the color thread with some holes..
Nice spotting again Tony. Now I see a cumulus from which virga is falling. On top of it and at the left some parts are streaky and look icy. But according to the ICA it can only be a cumulonimbus from which cirrus can develop (cumulonimbogenitus). And the virga is also cirrus in this case.
I look forward to any other opinions.
Thanks for sharing this image and your thoughts about it, Tony. It is a nice one to discuss. I agree with you, that there is no pileus in your image. The best guess I have for the white cirrus-like wisps on top and at the right is that the cumulus congestus you spotted is at the stage that it develops into a cumulonombus capillatus producing icy streaks of cirrus at its top, although it is hard to judge how high or how low the whiter clouds at the right are. They do look indeed like cirrus. The darker little ones at the right behind and above the tree seem to be cumulus. They are darker because they are in the shadow of the big one.
It was a nice CAD with the cirrus altocumulogenitus but something the same does not apply here in my opinion.
I must say that I am not sure about my suggestions, so maybe there are other opinions?

Haha, are you both pulling my leg, Ruth and Michael? Hereunder you can see the one who pointed out to check the former volume. Nice crab legs, Ruth. And the centipede by Michael looks to me like an angel’s wing. Love it.
Le me point this out: don’t pull my leg!Just a little bit of the reds in your last two, Michael. They combine very well with the blues.
Trying To Hide
Great recovery from the dive, Keelin. It is just afterwards that Ruth throw out a chain to draw you back (a nice one!). I love #260 Michael, quite a mysterious dust nebula.
Charcoal On Light Background
No noctilucent yet, since I posted one (above) from 2021. Patience is a valuable thing.
Open to Interpretation is very funny, Keelin. I could not decide whether it is best to leave it open or not, but I just can’t resist to share one interpretation, with the intention to leave it open for more interpretations. I see someone desperately looking for his glasses to find out what we all see.
Here is just a little experiment with iridescence from the archives.
A Dressed Up Ghost?
I think you spotted a great example of Cirrus uncinus Martin. So no fluctus, nor virga. It is the kind of cirrus that appears as a line with a tuft on one side. Without the tufts it would be Cirrus fibratus. The nice thing here is that they are so neatly arranged on one line from the observer’s view.
A very nice spotting!
Ah! The Rubin’s face/vase gave me the clue, Keelin. Billy is there indeed. You have a keen eye to spot our old friend even in a figure or ground puzzle. Very clever and funny too!
A Loose Thread and a Fan Of Contrails had too long to wait for a follow-up. Then there was this strange message in the sky.
Alien Handwriting?
