A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am sharing some shots I took at the Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford and as I know As well as Flowers Denise likes horses so I will start the post with this shot of a horse I saw there.

Now what she may not like so much is the coral the horse was in, as you can see it was very dry and bare and I think smaller than a horse really needs.

The zoo is a fairly small one and they have lots squeezed into the area and as such its not a Zoo I really like I feel for the animals when they do not have in my opinion enough or appropriate space for the animals

Now I am sure it meets the requirements zoos have for animals, but I much prefer larger zoos with good open areas for the animals to explore and enjoy.

I saw this cute little Monkey, not sure what type it was

About half an hour from me is the Roger Williamms Zoo in providence Rhode Island, which from what I have seen online looks a bigger and nicer zoo I hope to visit it soon.

One of the elephants at the Zoo it looks quite old to me.
