Photography took
over my blog. Haiku News
must return... OR ELSE!
Good. It's about time
revolution comes to the
energy sector.
Oklahoma is
not the only state where cops
abuse their power.
Philippine dancing
inmates pay tribute to the
late Michael Jackson.
Exotic wasp sent
to kidnap exotic bug,
then eat them alive.
If you try out for
"American Idol," be
prepared for what comes.
You're a Governor.
Did you think you could avoid
discovery? Tsk.
Governors fly straight:
at the dentist, the office,
speaking, and fishing.
Jumpin' jigawatts!
This man invented Mr.
Fusion! That's heavy.

Friday Photography - Tiny Forest
"Yup, life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look around once in a while, you might miss it." - Ferris Bueller, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
There is a forest in this picture. Can you see it for the tree?
How about now? Stop and smell the roses once in a while, the Joy of the Mundane can be found all around you.
See more random pics at my Flickr photostream. My Green Side also has a Photo Friday theme going. Today, you can see a pic of "More Flowers from the Farm." Mixes two of my newest, favoritist hobbies: Photography and gardening!

Friday Photography - The New Cherry
Earlier in my Friday Photography series, I had some pictures of the Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden, minus the cherry. It was out for cleaning and refinishing. I took these pictures at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon in April.
So now the cherry is back, in all of its highly polished glory. I took the picture below and a series of pictures that go along with it around 7 o'clock in the morning in May.
There is a big difference here, not only in the lighting but in the colors, as the grass was still brown in my first picture. I love how the green of the trees contrast with the red in the new pictures. Because the sun is "behind" the cherry in this pic, the sky isn't as blue, though. That's remedied in the next picture, though.
Can I say I love this picture? It looks better than I expected it too, as I couldn't really see it well in the viewfinder. The other pics I took like this didn't quite make the impact this one does. It's so peaceful. This photo made the early-morning, rush-hour drive to the Walker completely worth it, even if I did miss getting sunrise pictures (which was my aim!).
Here is a link where you can see the rest of the Walker Art Sculpture Garden photo set. My Green Side also has a Photo Friday theme going. Today you can see a pic of Flowers from the Farm! I love all the blooming flowers of summer!

Friday Photography - Glowing Blue Orb
Keeping my attempts to restart this blog rolling, here is the next installment of Friday Photography. This is a picture I took over Memorial Day weekend. This is a rubber bouncy ball filled with water and blue glitter. I shook it up and took a picture of it in the sun. This photo hasn't been touched up, believe it or not. Doesn't look like rubber, does it?
Really, I'm not linking to the rest of this photo set, because its a bunch of people you don't know grilling and having a good time without you. If you really, really want to look, my Flickr page is easy to find :)
The Barker & Hedges Blog is not being updated at the moment, the whole site has been redone and I don't yet have access to everything. Take a look at the new Barker & Hedges! Especially if you're looking for a house in the Twin Cities area. Also, as always, My Green Side has photo Fridays, too!

Haiku News - June 11 2009
When in Florida
it would be best not to mess
with Gator Lady.
"A Million Little
Pieces" is selling better
than A-Rod's book. HA!
Though embarrassing,
running out of gas is not
a reason to jump.
Rummaging through trash
searching for $1 million notes
and it's not a game?
Have you seen "Final
Destination"? Some events
cause me to wonder...

Eve Events
May 22 was my last blog entry? Seriously? I hadn't thought it was that long. I've been a busy gal, though, trying to muddle through as best I can, even if I haven't felt particularly inspired lately. That means I've been scrimping by with the bare minimum, and that means no blog posting at True to Words. Now I'm going to re-dedicate myself. To start, I'll introduce a new website for which I wrote copy.
The professionals at Eve Events hired Echo Creative to design and launch their website. I was hired by Echo to write the website copy! Basically, Eve had written what is on the "Home" page and the "About Us" page, and I was to try and emulate the style and sophistication she was trying to convey, describing her approach to corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, etc. What she had written was so well crafted, it instantly conveyed to me what she had to offer the Twin Cities. Actually, she specializes in destination weddings, so I guess you could really say her services are nationwide.
The text there is pretty much what I wrote in my first draft, there was only a few revisions. I attribute that to the effort Eve put into thinking about how she wanted her brand to be perceived before she even approached Echo Creative. The groundwork she laid was critically inspirational to the copy that ended up being printed. My contribution was heavily and directly influenced by the work she put in, and I think that really made a difference.
