Greetings and welcome to rural northeast Iowa, USA! One muggy morning last week I was trudging down the lane to the mailbox and noticed these clouds overhead. Can you see the slight streak of pink in mid-right area of the above photo? I wonder what causes that phenomenon?
Zooming in a little bit more, there is also a bluish streak evident in the lower left area of the next photo:
And, zooming in even more…….(you can see the spots on my camera’s lens)…….and, hopefully the pink and blue areas of the clouds, too.

Wow those are great pictures of a sky!Wonderful!I love it.Thank you for sharing.Have a nice weekend!
Excellent! If I recall from my How and Why Wonder Book of Weather, those are cirrus clouds, aren't they?
Wonderful shots! I can pick out the pink hue in the clouds in the photos. The second photo looks like a giant winged bird to me!
Excellent photos, the clouds are great. im not sure what the pink is but Ive seen something like it here in Kansas.
Glad to see you "in the pink". Good shots.
Sweet, Jeannelle! And hey, my lens does the same thing.
The pink streak is neat.
I love looking at the sky and clouds but know little about it.
I always wonder what causes the rainbow type of effect sometimes in the west, in the summer I believe? Reminds me of a quartz crystal in the sky.
Hi Jeannelle,
Looks like someone was painting the sky with watercolors. (But, I don't think that's the scientific explanation!) Have a nice holiday.
Amazing.Great captured.
