Anyone know what type of leaf it is?

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite of the bunch that I took on Sunday morning's excellent adventure to the Nitobe Botanical Gardens at UBC with Lars, Sarah, Doug and Tara. We were disappointed to find that the Nitobe Gardens have switched to winter hours, and are no longer open on weekends, but made the best of it with a trip to the UBC Botanical gardens for some of the fall colours on display there.
I could see the light on these leaves, and saw the ground behind in darkness and knew this gem was waiting to be captured!
A brand new shiny tender grape plant leaf makes its debut. It is about the size of a quarter. Spring is here!

these spots, if I were a religious greenie, I would declare are a direct result of global warming and man's pollution. I do believe in caring for our environment, that is our God given responsibility. I am offended by pollution of all kinds, including the pollution of our minds. And I do believe some things are caused by nature and man is not the cause.
