Rainbow in the clouds

We had rain, sun, hail, thunder and lightening this morning and in the midst, this! Taken with my phone. It is a circumzenithal arch...thanks Marnie and Sally Agnew for that information.
Thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Cool capture.

I think it's a circumzenithal arc Jane. https://earthsky.org/earth/i-saw-an-upside-down-rainbow-circumzenithal-arc. I saw a photo of one on the Cloud Appreciation Society's Cloud of the Day a week or so ago.

Wowsers Jane, it looks very much like a circumzenithal arc formed as sunlight is refracted by the ice crystals of thin layers of high clouds. Love it :))
