third floor, Southlake Hospital
Now that the weather has warmed up, flowers are blooming in the planters placed in the garden outside the gym. The pointy skylight in the centre of this photo is the roof of a small chapel on the first floor.
Reflection in patients' windows
A few lucky patients can look from their beds out onto the garden.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Susan--few things more therapeutic than to see garden.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful. I'm sure they work well brightening patient's days.
ReplyDeleteOh this must cheer patients up no end! At least, I hope it can and does!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very nice. I'm sure the patients enjoy the beauty and the fresh air. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteAn oasis of calm!
ReplyDeleteIf you need to be hospitalized, I think that this is a good place to be.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a nice hospital. Our town is not making much progress in getting a new facility.
ReplyDeletehow very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful when a hospital works on some the aesthetics which can also be important for patients' recovery. All those flowers have to help folks feel better.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very creative in finding so many photography subjects around this hospital.
ReplyDeletethis is one amazing hospital. i have really enjoyed all your photos taken there.. that skylight is fantastic...i bet the chapel is also
ReplyDeleteYou're spending a lot of time at South Lake recently! Is it still surrounded by construction? I was last there in September, and couldn't find the entrance to Emergency.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pleasant garden, nice for the patients and families. I'm sorry you and your husband are still spending so much time their though.

I love that the skylight of the chapel is an element in the garden!!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice the hospital maintains this little garden. I'm sure it helps to have someting pretty to look at while you're healing.
ReplyDeleteA flower garden (even in pots) is a different kind of chapel that can lift the spirits and help in the process of healing.

ReplyDeleteThese are really nice and I'm sure the patients and visitors appreciate this little garden. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all very beautiful. You are finding plenty of beauty in an otherwise sterile place.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely garden. I always enjoy the small gardens that are scattered throughout some of the hospitals I've been in (both as visitor and patient).
ReplyDeletelucky patients indeed. hope that views like this would be available to more patients.
ReplyDeleteSpring = rebirth and growth and beauty. Fine metaphor for the healing process of the patients.
