A front moved through this evening bringing strong winds. As I walked up the stairs and across the plaza from the Metro station, leaves and litter were swirling around in little vortices of wind.
I stopped to watch one for a while, swirling in a partly protected entrance area. It moved around, but always circled back, and seemed quite persistent. I walked over to it, expecting to feel some strong wind, but there was little power to it, just enough to blow the leaves. I thought my presence might disrupt it, but I seemed wrong about that too. As I left, the wind continued to swirl its captured objects.
