    *Very* Private Property

    The front entry of this house is so completely covered in overgrown pine branches that I doubt the front door is ever used. I stayed on the sidewalk taking photos rather discretely, when the woman who lives here came rushing out from the back door complaining that I had triggered her motion sensors. I was on the frikkin' sidewalk! Good grief. Anyway, I apologized and politely explained that I hadn't strayed from the sidewalk and asked if she'd like me to delete the photos I had already taken. She relaxed and said, "No, that's okay," and then she left. I tried in vain to spot one of the motion sensors.

    Obviously doesn't want anyone using the bench! Let's hope the EMS guys don't have to get in some time soon.

    My guess is the "motion detectors" are her eyes, which are constantly on the lookout for "intruders." That kind of "Nervous Nellie" attitude just makes me suspicious, and I'd want to take even MORE pictures to see if I can find out what she's up to!

    Here's a snapshot of the entire front showing how the owner has intentionally let the pine branches cover the entry path. The rest of the grounds appear fairly neat and maintained. Well, it might be odd as hell, but I like to see that occasionally in this otherwise highly-conformist world.
