Our Last Summer Adventure at Ankeny Wildlife Refuge, 2017

 We had one final excursion before the rains came. Bill and I hadn't visited the Ankeny Wildlife Refuge for some time, and we really enjoyed the boardwalk and grassy trail. We saw two green herons as we walked the boardwalk.

 The grassy trail went past a few ponds, and the scenery was stunning. The day was beautiful and we were so glad we took the time to go for a walk.
