wind

The weatherman keeps promising a warm up, and the wind keeps stealing it away. There was just enough snow today to create small ground blizzards with the strong winds. The horses were moving from pen to pen trying to find a calm spot to stand. I only stayed out a short while and quickly came back inside.
it looks positively hostile - the poor horses.

Hello April! I've just looked through the past few months of your pictures and I was so impressed with your creativity, eye, and willingness to try things! I also noticed that we use the same camera and that just makes me happy! :) This is only my second get-pushed challenge, so I hope I've picked a challenge that is good enough and that you like! I was thinking your challenge could be simplicity! If not, I can think of something else! This DPS post helped me think of it: http://digital-photography-school.com/simplicity-weekly-photography-challenge/
Also, I went for a horse back ride today and it was as chilly as this looks! This picture captures the chill very well!

Something about this really is dramatic -- the soft tones? the moving snow? the feeling of storminess? Love it -- fav!

Great picture. Looks like you've taken down the clarity and made it really soft, but it's just the wind. You wouldn't want to be out there too long with your camera. FAV

Great capture. Did the horses have somewhere indoors to go?

@tristansmum No...they stay outdoors but there is a long quonset running east/west that blocks the north wind and they ended up standing there.

I like the blur the blowing snow creates — it gives this picture a sense of cold to go with your description of the weather.
