Rainbow Clouds

I was so excited to view these clouds I had to share the photos with everyone.
Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?
The following is the information that was shared with me.

They may be what's called "iridescent clouds." Here's a picture in the archive of my favorite website, the Astronomical
Picture of the Day

The explanation says that it's due to the nearly perfectly uniform size of the water droplets and that it's very hard to see unless the sun is blocked, as it was for you.

The jet trail (called a "contrail" for "condensation trail") was very nice, too. It must have been above the iridescent clouds because it cast a shadow on the clouds. The rapid motion shows how the air at different altitudes can be blowing in different directions--and quickly, too. The contrail might have been up in the "jet stream," a high speed flow that can reach speeds of 120 mph.

I now use these photos as my screen saver - I find them very soothing.
Enjoy,
Karen

Happy New Year!

Here is a photo of my husband, Mike and my granddaughter, Haley. I couldn't resist using it for our New Year cards.
What a lovely pair they are.

I hope all of you have a wonderful NEW YEAR!!
Peace Out....

Merry Christmas

We had a fabulous time at my son, Eric and his wife, Kristi's new home in San Francisco. I didn't have to cook dinner this year. Eric baked the turkey and it turned out the best. This is one of the gifts I gave them. A picture of their new home. It isn't their style of art but it will be a lasting memory.
