This beautiful pink Straw Flower was in bloom at the Reader Rock Garden on 17 September 2014. I love seeing these flowers - they always look as if they had been meticulously cut out of shiny paper. The petals aren’t true petals at all, but in fact are modified leaves called bracts, that come in many colours, including yellow, orange, cream, pink, white, and purple.
"Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the golden everlasting or strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia." From Wikipedia.

It's -22°C (windchill -28°C) this morning (30 November 2014), so anything that looks even remotely warm is welcome to the eyes. This coming week, we are supposed to hit 0°C, which will be wonderful!
These photos were taken inside the Wawel Royal Castle, a place rarely still, shaped daily by footsteps, voices, and passing bodies. Yet here, none appear. Despite the constant presence of people, the frames hold only what remains when movement passes through without it staining.
What surfaces instead are patterns. Ceilings repeat themselves, corners and forms align with a certainty that no longer needs an audience. With no one to interrupt them, the rooms reveal themselves as frames rather than spaces, just arrangements that continue regardless of who enters and leaves. ️
