Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I thought we'd end this week focusing on something beautiful and natural. The world has felt pretty heavy as of late, but it's important to remember that there are still breathtaking places we can go out into nature and find some peace and quiet. Here's to weekend adventures and memories made in the great outdoors. 🌳❤️

 🏡

If you were worried about the fate of the iconic Circus House, I've got some good news. The home was purchased at auction and now it's headed for restoration. I'm so glad that someone was able to save this beautiful piece of Columbus history.

Today's Photo 🤳

We've previously established that your chances for being included as photo of the day go way up if there's a dog involved, but I've now realized that photos taken from the river are also very good, so just saying. Definitely hashtag us on those. 🛶
