January 2, 2011 -- multiflora rose foliage

I actually picked these two stems of multiflora rose foliage on a walk a couple of days ago, and they've been sitting in a vase on the windowsill ever since. I loved the leaves' color: sort of reddish with yellow undertones, and their well-chiseled shape and diminutive size makes them seem more like something rare and elegant than like the leaves-plucked-from-invasive-weed they are.
