Question Asked: These are near some raspberries plants and other low growing weeds, in a partial sun type setting. This is in Wayne County, Detroit metro area of Michigan.They look close to some of the pics I'm not certain. Thanks.

Answer: Hi Patrick -

The first picture - I'm not sure what the plant is. I do know it's not one of the trio of poison ivy, oak, or sumac. In the second picture, I see a number of things - a real mish mash of plants. I think I see some young boxelder, clover, some odd weeds (ones I've seen before but never got around to fully identifying), and something in the lower right hand corner that I'm unsure of. It could be poison ivy but I don't see enough of the plant to be sure.
