Thank you very much Ellen.

I din’t know poison Ivy climbed. I like the bark shot! (I have a computer here where I am but it’s a wireless connection and it’s really bad)
John Wright replied
Hi Jan, good to hear from you. I didn’t realize it either. The ivy was everywhere at the lower elevations, I’ve never seen so much of it in one place.
Mar Silva
Wow- this is really a beautifully detailed shot.
John Wright replied
Thank you very much Mar.
Leslie Battjes
Itchy, itchy! Hope you saw it before you stepped into it!
Love the texture of that bark and then the bright green against the dark is a beautiful contrast!
John Wright replied
Thank you very much Leslie. As long as one sticks to the trails, it is possible to avoid it.
Micki Ferguson

As much hiking and exploring as I’ve done…I’m shocked I haven’t been infected with poison ivy…and yep gotta watch for those 3 leaves…great shot and comp john!
John Wright replied
Thank you Kellie. I had poison oak once in California… hiking with a friend on a soft edge, it gave way and he slipped down a ways. I hauled him back up by the wrists and neither of us noticed he fell into a patch… he got it all over but I had it on my wrists from helping him up. Sorta itchy for awhile.
