Courtesy of a good friend, Mike, who rented an apartment for us, Columbus was our home base when we were in the USA. The apartment was set in a beautiful housing complex surounded by a city forest that show cased the best of the changing seasons of Ohio: Spring that was wintry in the beginning then turned gorgeous towards the end, followed by a very hot summer. There were days for catching up with school work and experimenting with food in the kitchen as well super nice for exploring the forest surrounding us and the city of Columbus. We also had days that were filled with storm warnings that got Digi panicking and made him camped inside the bathroom with his books. But otherwise the forest home was a place to rest, catch-up and recharge.

We will always have fond memories of our forest home in Columbus, Ohio.

I'm sure one day that will will come true, Hennensy. Thank you for visiting us here, and writing us a comment. So much appreciated.
Deleteomgoodness---this place is unreal----i would love to live there!!
ReplyDeleteLynn, we really have awesome time, especially walking the forest. The changing seasons is so fascinating, and so fast, from bare branches to full of flowers and leaves. It is something that we don't see here in Malaysia, which is hot all year round, and green all the time - great too of course, but different experience.
DeleteWonderful photos -- I think Ohio is a wee bit prettier than Illinois where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteDoes Illinois border Ohio, Patricia? Let me get my map. Ooh dear, there is Ohio, Illinois (giggling). Let me see again ;)
DeleteAhh, the state West of Ohio is Indiana. We did go to Indianapolis to meet up with a friend from Illinois, (Springfield). There was less wooded areas even in Indiana compared to Ohio. Indiana looked like a corn country, is Illinois the same Patricia?
We all need a place to go to and recharge, and this one looks particularly beautiful and suited in that regard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful choice for H.

Thank you "auntyamo" ... laugh, you are too young to be called aunty by me, but in our culture sometime we do call someone younger with a tittle for someone older, on behalf of our children; so I do so on behalf of degital then ;)
