Anyone confirm plant id? Want to say poison ivy but what's throwing me is the finely toothed leaves. Normally p.i. looks larger toothed.

I agree this is certainly not poison ivy, but I can't identify it off the top of my head from this photo.

Leaves look a lot like blackberry, but I can't see enough stem to tell

Are you trying to test us, or do you live someplace so small you can't find a library book to figure out what this is?
On a related note, a few weeks ago I installed a bird feeder near the dining room window, and we've seen a blue jay, a cardinal couple, and a couple of so far unidentified birds there. I got a FL bird book and still can't figure out what some of them are. They're so active and gone so fast.
Hard to tell, but they might be raspberry. Blackberry seems less likely.
To see if they are poison ivy, rub them on one side of your face. If that side of your face breaks out in itching, oozing blisters, and the other side doesn't, then it's probably poison ivy.
They don't look like poison ivy to me.
Definitely not Poison Ivy. Raspberries do have leaves like that. Is it developing woody stems? Any thorns on the stems? There was this perennial plant that grew wild in NJ that I would get a lot on my old property that also had leaves like this. We called it Snakeroot, but I never knew the Latin name.

Looks like a first year blackberry or raspberry.

I agree with the blackberry or raspberry guesses. I have some growing in a spot in my yard and that's what it looks like. Unfortunately, the birds and the other animals seem to like to get to it before it ever gets mature enough for any berries to grow (that, and it's right in the path of my lawnmower).

I agree with everyone else. I would put money down on rasberry or blackberry. Depending on the variety, these two are virtually indistinguishable until they make fruit. And as someone said, the thorns on the stem are a give away. And a silvery underside to the leaf.
But it's not poison ivy. The leaves would be shinier and without the serrated edges.

It's hard to tell from the photo because there's no context. Is it a tree, a shrub, a plant, a vine, etc. They look like they are from an astilbe (a perennial), but it's hard to tell without seeing more of the plant.
I don't know what it's called but it's NOT raspberries and it's NOT poison ivy (I asked a friend who was a horticulturalist that because I had the stuff all over my yard). It may be a solid leaved relative of Bishop's Weed, which has variegated leaves and is sometimes used as a ground cover. However, it IS one of the most persistent weeds on the planet IMO. It deserves a good dousing in weed-killer whenever spotted before it takes over your garden.
PS -- I am NOT an advocate of lots of pesticides, but that's the only way to get rid of this stuff. It's nasty.
I concur. I have seen it before and I doubt that it is (young) raspberry.

Well that cetainly is a wide variety of answers! I would not bet rubbing it on my face with that variety.
It is all a matter of perspective!!!
PI is way shiny and no serration of edge.
I'm willing to guess it may be one of several sumac species, some of which are short. The pic is way close.
I don't know, man - I'm still convinced its rasberry/blackberry. Domestic and wild varieties can have different leaf patterns so it may not look like others you have seen.
Look at these images:

These plants are also hard to control. My brother lives in Seattle and they are EVERYWHERE in the parks and open spaces.

Yeah, Maister, what's the scoop? Are you just using us part of your fiendish plan to put book publishers and libraries out of business by just taking a picture and asking your friends? My God, have you NO scruples?
What, you can't shoot them first and then identify them?
^^^ That reminds me of story I heard about a species of fur seal that was thought to be extinct. Upon discovering a few of them at an island off of Mexico a naturalist shot them so he could take their skins to prove they weren't extinct. Or hadn't been, anyway.
Fortunately there were others at the island and the species is recovering.
Curses! Foiled again! And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids! [/scooby]
