How Can Good And Beautiful Things Be Bad?

 There are so many good and beautiful things even deeds or intentions that sadly turns out bad!  One example is this beautiful bush that I was intrigued when I saw it at the edge of wooded area while walking my puppy.







At first I thought it was a type of dogwood but I was mistaken.  It is Bush Honeysuckle according to online search.  It is an invasive specie and plant experts say not to plant it in your yard.  But regardless of its negative classification I think it is pretty and makes my walk in a dreary Fall weather, when every colored leaves had turned brown, pleasant, because its leaves remain yellowish green until mid December in my area.  I also enjoyed watching the birds eat the red berries.  The last photo shows the bush with most of its yellow green leaves fallen to the ground and the berries are all gone.  To me it serves  three good qualities:  It grows easily, beautifies the woodland with its beautiful leaves, flowers and red berries; it feeds the birds.  I will watch this plant this coming Spring to enjoy its beautiful flowers.
