Wind
brought down many of the white pine needles that only yesterday were still on
the trees, brown ones whose time had come. The pines all had a two-tone
appearance of green and brown, and now they are restored. The ground however is
littered with needles, as is the roadway, so many so that entire stretches of
pavement are nearly covered. In places where the car tires pass over, the
tracks clear the road enough that from a distance it looks like a sandy road,
where only this morning it was clear.
These
will scatter about and eventually disappear, much like the light snow that
falls spindrift on cold pavement, where slight breezes cause it to shift and
eddy until warmth erases it entirely.
