Who Has Seen the Wind?

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

Stuck for a blip today until I recalled this verse. We have no trees to photograph to illustrate the passing of the wind – but the anemometer on the garage roof can serve that function. It took me several exposures to get the timing right in order to capture the right degree of blur – and all in the teeth of an icy Force 6. (Yes, it’s quiet a calm day today by comparison.) The things I will do for a blip!
