The Shape of Wind

The wind picked up yesterday afternoon and the temperature dropped. You could barely see across the road for the snow whipping along in sheets. Even  Zoe didn't want a long walk. It was bitter, but this morning the wind had worked her magic on the snow. I love the shapes of the drifts, the sharp upper edge, the way the light and shadow play with the forms. Even in the areas without the drifts the wind has carved patterns like sand on a beach. It really is amazing.
