Sun is out and she's making everything look exceptionally lovely today, especially these lil lily pads in Columbus' Goodale Park. Hope you can get outside and enjoy it. #myohioadventure (at Goodale Park)

There is a little slice of heaven in eastern Ohio, just beyond Cambridge, known as Quaker City. Blue skies, tall pines, and rolling hills make this place an absolute dream. #myohioadventure (at Quaker City, Ohio)

While sunsets are great, nothing beats a sunrise, like this one over Cleveland by @erinmilliken. People may call Cleveland the Mistake on the Lake, but it's looking perfect from here. Thanks for sharing, @erinmilliken! #myohioadventure

Camping does not mean sacrificing the finer things in life (breakfast meats). #myohioadventure (at Shawnee State Park)

This shot from @michellereneeschultheis is, quite simply, gorgeous. It was taken at the Clifton Mill, along the Little Miami River. Check it out if ever in the Yellow Springs area. They serve breakfast and lunch daily, and dinner on Friday and Saturdays. Thanks for sharing @michellereneeschultheis! #myohioadventure (at Clifton Mill)

Sharon Woods Metro Park in Columbus is worth the trip. Beautiful trails and relaxation by the lake. #myohioadventure (at Sharon Woods Metropolitan Park)

Had to take a quick detour during today's run to take a shot of the Shoe. Just because. #asseenincolumbus #livecolumbus #beautifuldayintheneighborhood (at Ohio Stadium)

And then, enchanted by the #sunset (and mild to moderately buzzed), @rtilson jumped in the freezing cold water. #thisisliving #getoutside #toolazytofilterthisbutitalsodontneedit (at Gulf Shore Beach)

Out of the blue, my dad sent me this super old, super large (like 8x10 inches, at least) copy of my most favorite book ever, that I collect copies of (although I've never told him this). Perfect author. Perfect book. Perfect gift. Perfect dad. #steinbeck

Thou­sands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized peo­ple are begin­ning to find out that going to the moun­tains is going home; that wild­ness is a neces­sity; and that moun­tain parks and reser­va­tions are use­ful not only as foun­tains of tim­ber and irri­gat­ing rivers, but as foun­tains of life.

John Muir, Our National Parks, 1901
