Cloudy with mist

I woke up this morning and realized that it is Friday and the Rosa multiflora was probably at it's peak last Monday or Tuesday. I had to go today if I was going to get any shots. I have not been able to get a good picture and these are no exception. Rosa Multiflora is a highly invasive species which has just total over run the trees and other vegetation here at Stid Hill. It is on the trail and being a Rose it has thorns which rip your arms and legs apart. The only redeeming part is for about a week it blooms with small white flowers that cover everything and are quite beautiful.
Unfortunately the rest of the year it is literally a pain and and is destroying all the other growth.
