L<\/span>ast week on Twitter, Vicky <\/a>was asking for recommendations on places to take great fall family pictures around Ottawa, and I told her I had a post half-written on the topic. It took me another week to get it all out there in a coherent fashion! Now that the rain has let up for a few days, maybe we’ll be able to get outside and enjoy those fall colours before they wash away!!<\/p>\n

Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my recommendation for five great places to visit for fall family pictures in and around Ottawa:<\/p>\n

1.\tHogsback Falls<\/a><\/p>\n

A favourite of mine in any season, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s especially lovely in autumn. If you climb the hill just before you get to the Baseline overpass, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some terrific old ruins up there.<\/p>\n

2.\tStony Swamp in Barrhaven<\/a><\/p>\n

The light is gorgeous, especially if you love those rich yellow leaves. Bonus: lime kiln ruins!<\/p>\n

3.\tMajors Hill Park<\/a><\/p>\n

Get your leafy fix with a side order of Peace Tower in the background. Spectacular!<\/p>\n

4.\tMud Lake<\/a><\/p>\n

If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nice this weekend, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hoping we can make it out for the hour or so it takes to hike around this gorgeous beauty hidden in the urban west end.<\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\tBlacks Rapids<\/a><\/p>\n

Easy access to a Rideau Lock station without the downtown parking trouble!<\/p>\n

Other great ideas that I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t illustrate with photos from my own collection: Andrew Haydon Park, Gatineau Park, Mer Bleu Bog, Petrie Island\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 damn, but we live in a gorgeous city, don’t we? Got a favourite I didn’t mention? Share it in the comments!<\/p>\n

The light is gentle and warm this time of year, and the rain has finally ceased \u00e2\u20ac\u201c let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get out and enjoy it before the (shudder) snow flies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
