Wild Horses in the Sky

I'm a horse lover from way back. Whoever nicknamed these clouds mare's tails knew both their skies and animals well.

 Can't you just see a wild horse flying through the sky, over the hill, only the tail to be seen? Mare's Tails are high level cirrus clouds made up of ice crystals. High upper winds blow them out into wispy strands. Aren't they beautiful against the bright blue sky? Maybe not for long, these clouds can forecast storms to come. -- Margy
