March 15th - Truro, Iowa

With the signs of winter fading (although both of us thought it felt more like fall than spring) this past Sunday we took a drive to Truro, Iowa. Truro is home to the Interstate 35 Schools, catering to students from the surrounding area, and there was ample evidence as we arrived that we were entering "Roadrunner country"!

7 shots were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, with two added to the updated article on Wikipedia. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Well hopefully better late than never, here is the report and photos from our trip to Ankeny! Unfortunately both time and the weather were against us, but we both had a great time driving around town for a couple of hours in the afternoon taking pictures. We ended up with 13 usable shots from about 150 taken, and these have now been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons . In turn, 5 have been added to the Ankeny article on Wikipedia . Below are a couple of my favourites. Look for some hints on our next destination later in the week!
