Fun in the (overcast) sun

I was able to make it down to the beach today. The best method I have for controlling the shutter speed on my camera is to manually change the ISO.  It was cold and windy, and I didn't have a tripod.  I played with the ISO around 400-800 because anything higher is just too grainy with my little camera. 

The wind had blown the sand through the snow drifts, carving out a tiny canyon and leaving stripes of sand in the snow.

 

I think this picture came out pretty good, It would be better if it was more in focus though.
