Towards afternoon, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus began to appear moving northward.

Without knowing how, she knew their names: cirrus, cirrocumulus, altostratus and stratocumulus, nimbostratus and cumulus.

A few cirrocumulus continued to pass over towards east.

Towards morning there were a few cirrocumulus clouds passing over north-east to south-west, but these disappeared before daylight.

Far above me, feathered cirrus and rippled cirrocumulus caught the twilight in a pastel riot of soft pinks, rose glows, violet tinges, and golden backlighting.
