Question
I live in western mass. I found this plant growing near a river. And sorry for some reason with the 3rd picture it has a different plant for the thumbnail but when you click it it changes to the actual plant. Sorry I dont know why it does this. Sometimes it uploads multiple of one plant.
Answer
Dear OutdoorLife, you have photographed a species of Ribes (currant, gooseberry) in the Grossulariaceae. I can't tell you the exact species without additional photographs of the flowers and/or fruits. These shrubs have palmately lobed leaves (like maples) but they are alternate on the stem (not opposite, as in maples). Best wishes.
