mares' tails
High feathery clouds
Mares' tails are wispy, high-altitude cirrus clouds that streak across the sky like flowing hair or a horse's tail.
They often signal approaching weather changes.
The term also refers to a common aquatic plant with whorled, feathery leaves that rise above the water surface, resembling the same windswept shape.
