Cirrocumulus

I was very struck by the sight of cirrocumulus clouds on our way home from town this afternoon, as the skies began to clear after some grey, wet days. Chris took a photo too, as evidence of supercooled water droplets at 20,000 ft agl. They looked as though they'd been painted onto the blue with a big brush.

Here is my own picture, looking up from the park by our street:
