I see these all over the place when I go out to shoot. Looked around on the net and can't figure out what they are. I know with all the educated nature lovers here, at least one of you must know what this is. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

[edit] This photo was taken in Southeast Michigan, early July.

It looks sorta like a wild rose, but also not, because the petal formation is wrong for a rose. It would be helpful for us if you could tell us "where" you are located, as that will help to reduce the possibilities...

It looks like multiflora rose to me, but I am not 100% sure. It is an invasive species, and one that is pretty common in southeast Michigan.

It is a nice photo picture. I think the shapes work well together.

I'm with Scott. My first thought was multifora rose. Nice photo!
