Can anyone help me identify a plant?

While walking through the "nature trail" that my neighborhood has setup, I found an interesting plant that I've never seen before.

I'm very curious about this plant, so I took a branch home with me and took some pictures. They are currently available to see at:

Does anyone have any idea what this plant is?

Looks like Clematis vitalba (Traveller's Joy over here) to me.

Sure enough!! Look at this picture:

I'm convinced this is it. Notice how the picture shows some leaves as round, and others as more pointed? That's exactly like what I have here. Additionally, the seed pod is identical to mine.

Thank you for clearing this up for me Mary! Kudos to you!
