Havent heard about poison oak, thanks for sharing. Very pretty foliage, though.

Poison ivy and poison oak always get the most beautiful leaves and colors. Yes, deceiving and devilish. V

Deceivingly pretty indeed.

Nature is full of surprises, I know, sometimes during my walks in the woods, I start itching, but there are never any bugs, I suspect plants during that time.
Cindi Smith20-Oct-2010 01:03
Yeah, they'll make you itch! They are beautiful!

Yes, looks can certainly be deceiving. Nicely spotted, beautiful colors.

A very pretty medley of leaves, but you are right, don't touch!
