We where discussing Poison Ivy while on our recent Stony Creek Hike and so I thought I would post a picture of a leaf. Using our hands to make the leaf shape, works pretty good at Identifying Poison Ivy. The leafs can vary a bit, but mostly they look like the two side by side "mittens", with the center leaf being both hands overlapping one another, with the thumbs folded. Not a bad way to get a good idea of whether or not the plant is really poison Ivy.
