Iridescent Clouds after clearing spring snow storm

We got 8 inches of heavy wet snow Friday and Saturday.  When the storm finally cleared yesterday, fast moving cumulus clouds crossed the sun from west to east. I have learned this is a good situation for cloud iridescence to occur, so I took some photos with a mirrorless camera — much safer for the eyes than a DSLR.  I underexposed by two stops. Here is my favorite from the group.
