Zoo Animals

 The Scoville zoo in Decatur Illinois has approximately 400 animals  spanning six continents and is located on a fifteen acre land. It is a stone drop from Springfield and while Springfield has its own zoo there is no comparison between the two parks.

Hence, a trip to the Scoville zoo was a must considering it had been years since I had visited the park.

Farmers Market

It's that time of the year when the Old Capitol Farmers Market sets up its summer hours. The market has been overseen by Downtown Springfield Inc. (DSI) since 1999 and supposedly it is the most popular Market in Central Illinois (and largest downstate producer-only Market). 

The Market supports small farms and local growers by providing an open air venue to sell their goods in the heart of the Springfield. 

It also is one of the best places for street photography.






















I ended up buying the biggest and tastiest radishes.


And some great crispy Little Gem lettuce as well as green onions.


The Market will see me again this summer.
