Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Thistles belong to the class of noxious weeds as defined by humans.
Why is it so ? Very SIMPLE reason.
They tend to invade the space where OUR plants grow. The plants we use for food.
Never mind that it is a plant that gives food to butterflies, all kinds of bees, and Goldfinches.
Passing by a bunch of thistles gives me an idea of value that these beings attach to the plant.
See them, hear them.
Feel the buzzing energy, passion and joviality of the moment...
