We have an over-sized tree: namely a lone hemlock towering about seventy feet over the little summer kitchen, Minnietrost (the smaller of the two cottages), and even over the south end. It is beloved of the birds, in the winter because it is a good roosting spot; but in the summer because of the Woodbine (Virginia Creeper) which is now managed to get well over halfway up it. For much of the summer it blends in (though when it flowers, the hum of the bees is audible from the ground) but in fall…. We can’t take any credit for the impressive display, a happy accident.*

From two high stories up, the little summer kitchen is visible below. The south end is about thirty-five/forty feet tall.
*The woodbine, perhaps more than anything, is why taking it down isn’t really something I want to do.

Virginia Creeper, Carolina Creeper, and Poison Ivy both have nice red leaves in the fall. The Creepers can also case a skin rash similar to Poison Ivy in some people.
I’ve heard that some people can get a skin rash, I have to admit to some skepticism and the possibility of mis-identification: young woodbine, i.e. the growing shoot, routinely looks identical to poison ivy at a casual glance (leaves of three), the growth habits are similar, and they often grow in the same spot. But I could be wrong!
I think it is a pity that Poison Ivy is, well poison, around here not only does it go red, but also a full range of golds and oranges, absolutely spectacular.
You know what they say, “Leaves of three, let it be. Leaves of 5 ?”. Many plants are poison, or toxic, that we grow in our flower beds without ever realizing it.
Quite! Consider the foxglove, monkshood, daffodil, iris, yew or…
