If your not from a part of the world that is blessed with poison ivy you probably won’t be able to appreciate what a frightening object this is. My cell phone camera is really horrible, so you can’t see how every leaf on this vine is huge, juicy, and glossy.

Poison ivy is a funny thing. Generally it takes a few exposures before the body starts to have a reaction. Then each time the reaction gets worse. The patch of poison ivy this sign is planted in runs along this road for miles. It’s been a very good year for poison ivy so far.
