A Western Grey #Squirrel amidst dry grass and #Oregon Sunshine near the summit of Spencer's Butte, #Eugene. These guys are so used to humans they will brush up against you, sniffing you to see if you carry nuts or seeds. This common #Rodent does not seem to be affected by the #PoisonOak! #Hiking #Wildflower #Yarrow #OregonSunshine #Aster #Sumac

“Poison Oak” — Poison oak leaves transition to fall colors in the deep shade of a redwood forest.

Aspens are not the only plants producing fall color here in California. The ubiquitous poison oak plants become even more red and start to pick up a bit of yellow/brown late in the season. The plant is widespread in wild areas of the state, ranging from coastal bluffs to oak forests to scrub brush, and California hikers soon learn how to identify it. The red leaves are a clue, but the oak shaped leaves in groups of three can mostly confirm it. (Though some wild berry plants have a similar appearance — but their stems have thorns, which are lacking on poison oak.)…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/14/poison-oak-2/

Ooh! LOOK! It must be Fall in Southern California, look at the pretty red leaves! 💀#fall #poisonoak

My first thought on seeing the beautiful new area in our #BotanicalGarden at #UtrechtSciencePark dedicated to North American woodlands, specifically Northeastern America:

Having grown up in #Pennsylvania the exhibit is missing:
- poison ivy
- poison oak
- poison sumac

Because the forests of the #appalachian are beautiful- I miss the fall foliage every year- but man, they are also Out To Get You. Specifically, Out To Make You Itchy.

The left is not poison ivy, but the right one is 🤔
I might be wrong, but just in case, I avoid both types 😉

More details in ALT texts.

Drat, played "poison oak bingo" and lost.

Now, to figure out which piece of clothing here is carrying around the poison oak oils, after washing off my arm with dish soap and taking an antihistamine...

Today's evening hike:

"Watch out that is poison..."

"oak... which you just walked through..."

😂

(not me... doused their jacket in dish soap when we got back, that always fixes the problem).

Santa Barbara is a wonderful place. But you may not be missing these:

Brain: I WANT TO SNUGGLE THE KITTY CAT!
Reptilian Brain: THE KITTY CAT IS SITTING IN A PATCH OF POISON OAK, DUMMY
Also Reptilian Brian: THAT'S NOT A KITTY CAT DUMMY, THAT'S A MOUNTAIN LION CUB, WHERE IS THE MOTHER?! #kitty #cats #caturday #wildlife #PoisonOak #ItchyItchyRashyRashy

Really appreciate my iPhone telling me what this is before I try to yank it from the ground. #poisonivy #poisonoak

Ah, fun. Secondary #poisonoak it appears. (avoided all the poison oak, but it appears someone else did not and spread the oils on bushes farther up the trail). I guess I'm going back to long pants for a bit while #hiking. #itch

Guess who has been weeding out invasive plants in the forested areas and didn’t know how to identify dormant poison oak? This one! (I was wearing gloves, so I only have a few flecks on my forearms) #PoisonOak

@Mab @alexwild 🚨🚨🚨🛑 I go by "Leaves of Three, Let Them Be!" plus iNaturalist says: #poisonivy or #poisonoak 🚨🚨🚨

Spring has sprung here in San Diego Co. So “Leaves three…” #poisonoak

@mjt Here in the Pacific Northwest, more often I encounter #PoisonOak near campsites 🏕️ and trails 🥾🥾. And this kind of quiz always reminds me of @LlewellynFalco’s #SparrowDeck.

I went on a hike today, up in the coastal hills near Los Angeles. I took a trail along a (dry) streambed up through a canyon, which is variously known as George F. Canyon or Georgeff Canyon. No one knows who George (or Georgeff) was - they just found it on an old map when they dedicated the nature preserve.

There was SO. MUCH. POISON OAK. You really do not want to stray much from the path here!
