I don't have photo shop or lightroom and don't know how to remove the overly lit bush from this photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Any cloning tool will work. Your image reports an EOS 5DIII. You can download DPPv4 from Canon's website (for free, just have your camera's S/N to enable the download) and fix this easily on the RAW file, or use DPPv3 on the JPG. Use u-tube for examples of using DPP and cloning. 'Cloning' called the Stamp Tool in DPPv3.
Attached is about 1-minute in DPPv3, with more time spent on the upload / download of the file from the site. The same work is more efficient in LR, but the results would be the same.

I did a little extra rather than just darken the bush. I darkened the right side of the bridge with "Burn" tool and "Paintbrush" then eliminated some of the red color and adjusted the overall contrast with "Levels" to bring out the stars more. Very Nice shot!

You got good advice.
But out of curiosity - What post processing (editing) software do you have?

All I have is Picassa and I am pretty basic with PP usually just tweaking contrast exposure and sharpness.

1. Picassa is to editing programs like a used Yugo is to a new Caddy. Get a better editing program, the vastly expanded tools and usability will astonish you. there are many good tutorials and books to help learn editing. Or look for and adult school or community college course, maybe a photo club with helpful members near you.
2. use "quote reply" and everyone will know just what you are replying to.

Don't feel alone! I'm in the same boat. Have just bought Elements and not at all looking forward to the steep learning curve.
Someone made a comparison between a Yugo and Cadillac - wrong, more like Yugo and Cessna!
Lots of lessons available on line and I'm assured that being highly of literate means I'll "pick it up quickly" but it is certainly daunting.
Finding the right starting point is the challenge. First you take a RAW image and then what?
There's much about Picasa that I'll miss, but probably the best approach is just dive in and get on with it.

Guess it's time to move out of my comfort zone. Thank you for your thoughts!

A bit late to correct - I meant to say highly computer literate, but my fat thumbs decided that "highly of literate" would be better...
