Colorful "Clones"

Photo date: October 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background.  We see two wispy things that seem to have the same strange shape (particularly in the lower half). Only their color is different.

We also see a shape repetition in the photo below from the same day, where we see a kind of "ghostly mountain range" effect.
