There seems to be two camps on the pronunciation of Quidi Vidi. Some say Kitty Vidi, while others say Quada Vada. However you pronounce, it is a startlingly beautiful place. Hubby and I took Saturday afternoon to hike around
Quidi Vidi Lake, then on out into Quidi Vidi Village----breathtaking is putting it mildly!!!!!!
Just to take a stroll around Quidi Vidi late in the early spring sunshine and feed the birds is amazing. Yesterday afternoon was exceptional---15 degrees Celsius, light breeze and sunshine----stuff dreams are made of :)
I had made up a batch of date squares in the morning,and took the crumb scraps from cutting them out (along with some bread) to feed the birds at the lake.
The big light blue building with high walls all around it top right of the above photo is
Her Majesty's Penitentiary. It was built in 1859, and is still in use today. I always feel strange taking a leisurely stroll around the lake while only a few hundred meters away is an actual prison!!
Cheers

Love the photos and the location! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis looks a beautiful part of the world.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of company!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! 15C while we're freezing our patooties off? Decidedly unfair.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful to see all these sweet creatures. We are new in North Dakota and today my husband was mentioning how great it's to see lots of ducks in ponds and lakes here. We also got to see the geese flying North and making noise. It's beautiful to see nature so alive. How fun that you get close enough to feed them. You got great photos!
