ILLINOIS — As the summer begins, the spectacular images captured by Patch contributors throughout Illinois continues. This week, we have more wildlife, some farmers markets and a large array of nature images that can be found below.

To submit your image to be included in a future Patch photo gallery and considered for the "Photo of the Week," send the image to Tim Moran, tim.moran@patch.com. Make sure the photo you send is one you have taken yourself, include where in Illinois the photo was taken and your name so we can give you the proper credit.
