Some sort of dried out plant--I ran into while hiking with my family. Its resemblance to a clothesline was uncanny.

I was trying to play off the word imitations--doesn't seem it worked too well or no one is reading my blog, maybe some of both :)

That is nature "imitating" human behavior. I like the idea of nature curling its vines and drying its leaves to approximate what it sees this odd creature that has left its forests.

Obviously, it is the opposite of what we are used to seeing: the imitations we make of nature--landscape paintings, swimming pools, damns, landscaped rivers etc.
