Question Asked: HERE IS A PICTURE OF WHAT I THINK IS POISON IVY. JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM. FEEL FREE TO USE THE SHOT ANY WAY YOU PLEASE. THANKS FOR THE INFO.
Answer: Hi Brad -
The first picture is of a vine that I have seen many times. It isn't poison ivy and it's one of those plants I haven't gotten around to properly identifying. (It's summer and that's my excuse :-)). The second picture - now that's the one. I agree that the vine is poison ivy. The key characterisitics are there including habit.
