...Actually, my nemesis: Toxicodendron radicans, known more commonly as poison ivy. I am hyper-allergic to urushiol, and have learned from past experiences to pretty much stay out of the woodlands from May to October. If I venture into them, I walk as one treads through a mindfield, look, step, look, step, etc. Judging from what I've seen recently, 2017 looks to be a banner year for poison ivy in Maryland. So, to appease the PI gods, I present "Portrait of Nemesis" in the hopes that they leave me alone and I avoid all contact with the plant for this year.
Thanks for viewing, and please feel free to leave comments.
