Hazard a guess?

Ran into some of these this weekend. Hadn't seen any for about three years. I have a positive ID on what this is, but it took me about three months last time to find someone who knew what this was.

Also found some high bush cranberries hanging over a trail and tried to get some contrast between them and the background.

I'm not a weedologist so I have no idea what the first couple photos are. However, I really like the contrast between the red berries and the bg. Nicely done.

Ken, I'd had that ID once, but can't for the life of me remember it. I also like the cranberries. Tart, I suppose, but beautiful.

I don't have any idea on the ID. I thought for sure Steve would give it up! Very nice pics. I also like the cranberries.

Here's a clue: this is what it looks like when it blossoms in late June!

That would make it the wild clematis.

I knew you wouldn't let us down Steve!

Nice Work!

Ken, you're dating yourself. None of the young whippersnappers these days even know what a kewpie doll is, let alone understand the reference.

Thanks, Mike. I just needed a bigger hint. Getting a little slow in my old age.
