You can't see the wind, any more than you can see the air right in front of you.  But you can see the wind's invisible movements as it interacts with the visible.

For several days in September boisterous, wild gusts bent trees and animated leaves. They made for noisy and colorful drama: each new gust loudly invaded the brief silence of quiet interludes and roiled the leaves, many still bright green and many newly vibrant orange. Still firmly fastened, the leaves spun and shimmied in place as the branches that refused to release them bent far over and the trunks that anchored the branches bowed and sprang back. The result was an opportunity to depict the ways the gusts played roughly with leaves, branches, trunks. Slow shutter speeds froze the constant motion better than a fast shutter could have. 

There were patterns, of a sort, as gusts whipped branches back and forth, mini cyclones whirled leaves in fluid whirlpools, and blasts pushed the tops of 60- and 80-foot trees 20 or 30 feet off center.  Everything was moving.

Milder interludes minimized the displacement.

Lots of motion, in lots of directions.
