on my skin; but I don't think it is. Poison ivy usually does not have as many notches on the leaves. Perhaps it is wild strawberry leaves?

No. Poison ivy doesn't look like that at all.

I agree. And it doesn't have to be shiny.

I agree with the wild strawberries opinion.

The pictures here are as good as anything I could attach of what I have saved on my PC.

A little tip. The same stuff that you buy to kill poison ivy is also used to kill clover in your lawn (chemical to look for on the label is triclopyr). However you will notice the poison ivy killer is usually much less expensive than the stuff labeled as "clover killer". The difference? Marketing;)

Thank you everyone, this is growing along the side of the road at my house and starting to creep onto the property. I won't be to concerned now.

Thanks again

yes, thank you I have seen all the links. But to the untrained eye some of those pictures look very similar to mine which is why I asked.
