Lunchtime on a weekday is about eating quickly at my desk and then going out for some fresh air to help keep myself awake for the afternoon. I always have my phone camera with me and keep my eyes open, these photos were taken at various times of the year. Sometimes I walk to the main building, the hospital, where there are often health related displays like the robotic surgery equipment I showed you recently. Below is a walk through, blow up model of the lungs to raise awareness of lung disease a couple of months ago. There are very old trees, and wide grassy areas around the campus and also a childrens park nearby as well as a lovely garden in the cancer support centre. If the weather is just too inclement I’ve been known to walk the very long corridors of the hospital to check out the constantly changing artwork on the walls, check out the shops or sit in one of several cafes. Not bad for a lunch break is it?

Not a bad way to spend your lunchtimes Gilly
You are so imaginative. Not only are you clearing your mind for more work in the afternoon, you walk through nature and capture what strikes you. Wonderful pictures, Gilly.
It seems that food isn’t that important to you at lunchtime, Gilly. At least you have very interesting walks, and get some exercise. 🙂
looks like all the variety you need is there … just choose your path for each lunchtime 🙂
Very healthy way to do lunch, Gilly. For both mind ad body.
Thank you for taking me along on your lunch break – beautiful captures.
Such a great way to look at life…full of curiosity 🙂
I didn’t read it carefully enough to see it was lunch TIME not just lunch!
Gilly, your lunch spots look fabulous. And so relaxing. I wouldn’t eat much at all if this is what I could see everyday. 🙂
One of the disadvantages of working from home is that there is always something to do! It’s a very good idea to take a break. 🙂
I like your take on the challenge. Making good use of lunchtime, eating with your eyes (and phone camera!)
This is great–I will need to start bringing my phone along to snap away.
I love brekfast and lunch … they’re my wo favorite meals of the day. Your walks are definitely glorious but is there food, too???? Must have fuel for the walks ….
I love your rainbow photo (I love that rainbow)! It’s fun to be able to go out and away and see some natural things at lunchtime, instead of being indoors available to everybody and the dog, isn’t it?
Not bad at all Gilly….you even managed to catch a rainbow 🙂
My friend, I’m glad you brought your camera with you during your lunch breaks. Beautiful images that truly captures the joys of the day. Thanks.
