WTF!!
I'd rip, slash, burn that bloody thing if it is near my house! But that explains a few things about your ...ahem.. inspirations... :D

Particularly in tandem with the actual security fence, Corbin.

Not really, Rumored ...
Though it does sort of dance in the wind ... plus eat kites.

Ohhhhh!!!
I see dead bushes!
It looks a bit like kudzu vine that is creeping across the south.......but the bigger pic shows it to me a much stranger variety..........Heck of a security fence though!

I suppose if I really look at it hard...
the bushes resemble some kind of "back from the dead" creature. Good thing my imagination isn't inclined to come up with monsters much...I should post a picture of "Ghost Rock". We parked there for the night and Johnathan was a little nervous...kept asking if the ghosts could get in the truck or not!

......Oh!..........until the last line (technically the second to last line) I thought it was scary because it was given to you to do the trimming.......actually, I think that bandanafish's comment makes the most sense - it's the only theory advanced here that is really reasonable......and that time you were pushed into the bush.....well, you just didn't go in far enough.....the rash was obviously deliberate to prevent further investigation......yeah, stick with the fish.....er, I mean the bandanafish.....there's a very reasonable young woman.

I am sure this bush comes to life at night and starts dancing....
with little gremlins grinning their green teeth at you.....yes this is the most potentially frightening bush I have ever seen! It is teeming with creepy scummmy life of all kinds. Lovely bush!

What if you add some spooky sounds, Passion?
Such as the wind howling, or chains rustling?
Does that help?

Oh, I get it now (your e-mail).

Anyway, do you want to talk here, or

The frogs troubled my mother, as well.
Even though, technically, such an occurrence has actually happened (in California). And thus, can be taken literally.
I prefer to see it as a metaphor, however.

How much time do you have, T?
It is, in my estimation, the best children's movie ever made. And the only movie that never fails to cheer me up regardless of my mood.
In fact, I've shouted down many a fellow film school student over its myriad merits.
I watch it every single Thanksgiving, btw.

Btw, one time, my brother pushed me, and I fell into it. I didn't end up tumbling through a vortex into any other dimensions, though.
However, I did receive quite a rash.

It is creepy... like, some kind of an unspoken force.
It feels as if you walked really close to it, it would all of sudden go "whoa!" and lift up all that "hair" (somebody needs a haircut), and gobble you "in".
And then, you'd hear a lot of "hey, what up." "The last time I saw you, you were still playing rocks with your brother outside" from some ancient missing person's case around your area... strangely, they were all alive still, living under that bush. There might be a whole new civilization underneath, like the Lord of The Flies, or the movie, The Beach.
My imagination is clearly too vivid.
