Hospital Smash
Hello Hello Hivians
Earlier this morning I was waiting to have my hydrotherapy session at the hospital I thought I would wait in the Haven. Which is a quiet garden within the main part of the hospital.
I always arrive early and have about 30 minutes to kill before my hydro starts.
So every Thursday I walk along this corridor. I shall tell you why in a moment!
UK hospitals have quite a lot of art around the place especially paintings.
The sun was out and one great thing about The QM (Queen Margaret Hospital) is how bright it is with so many windows.
All steps led to The Haven Garden ...
Except it was closed until 11.30am. Eveery Thursday it is the same thing. They look like they are volunteers who were in the garden watering and pulling up weeds etc.
Back the way I came I went!
When it is dry I like to sit outside and I have learnt where there is another outside area up this corridor that I can hang out in!
I think this is my favourite window...
If you look at the windows they have petals and leaves which cast the funky shadows on the floor.
Unfortunately the wooden fence does not add to the shadow, in fact it blocks things out!
But now, decisions, decisions, decisions!
Yes it's that time for me to choose my entry picture!
So here 👇👇👇 is my entry for Show Me A Shadow - Round 385
This was a trickier choice again. But I did narrow it down to two, and in fact I choose a different one whilst I was writing this post!
I like the angles on the bottom left corner and the overall symmetry of this picture.
I never know which picture to choose as the entry, and I do try to make a story with my posts rather than just a post and a run kind of thing!!
What do you think? Did I pick the suitable one, or would you have chosen another one?

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

It's not easy choosing the best one, they are all nice.
I like the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,...I give up, can't pick. Very nice bright corridor for a hospital!
Hehe yeah not easy to choose.
It is a nice bright hospital Lizzie at least I think so.
Such great shadow you hunt 👍
Thanks so very much
Great shadow hunting, as always! Hope the hospital visit went well.

Thanks so much, yes just a session in the hydrotherapy pool which is always fun :)
I like the first shadow photo the most hehe.. Artsy windows!
!HUGZ
Hehe the first one was the one I was going to choose but I realised the full shadow had been slightly chopped off..
I saw you commented and thought ... oh Jane has written a post ... but no :(
They are all pretty. Looks like a designed shadow😌😌
Hehe pretty says they are all pretty! I like that ... They were cool shadows and you got it, it is as if they were designed I agree :)
Those windows make some great shadows! I love it when hospitals make an effort to make the environment better for the patients. Making it seem more peaceful does encourage healing in my opinion. It's nice that they have a garden area too, what a nice place! I hope it continues to do the trick and get you back to 100%, I know I would like to get back there myself!
This hospital is great, and they even have patients who make and donate models, paint pictures etc. The garden is great, and not just for the patients, but for staff to eat their lunch there too etc.
Hehe a new back neck and hips would be be needed for that 🤣
We just keep smiling and get out and about as much as we can. I hope you are on the mend tho.
Sounds like you need a genie or a magic wand in that case! All you can do is just keep going!
Great shadows! Thank you for entering The Shadow Hunters Contest!
Hehe thank you :)
I hope the hydrotherapy was excellent! As excellent as your photos. I liked the one you selected. It's nice to find beauty in hospitals. Best wishes, Ed
Thank you Nancy it was a great hydrotherapy session and there were only 2 of us! Yes the hospital really tries to make a nice environment ... Where is my hug Nancy! A shadow hug to you today :)
This is creativity, wholesome.
