That is Shining Sumac, forms kind of a thicket and doesn't seem to get as tall as Staghorn Sumac. In spring and summer, its a very glossy deep green. Notice the 'winged' leafstalks to help ID.
Even poison ivy turns a pretty color. Maybe thats its only redeeming virtue.

Oh, Jen, it was sunny and pretty on Wednesday afternoon, but then went back to chilly and cloudy on Thursday and Friday here. I should have said I like 'warm damp', not chilly damp or hot damp (humid) (Damp is a funny word the more you look at it.)
