Such Pretty Leaves

It was 61 today so I went for my bike ride late this afternoon.  I do 10 miles up and down the hills of Sea Cliff.  On the way back up my street to home I flashed by these beautiful red leaves growing in the ivy alongside the street.  I passed them then stopped, turned around and went back..  I got off my bike and used my iPhone to photograph them.  They were striking in their contrast to the dark green ivy.  After I finished photographing them, I reached into the ivy and pulled some of these out of the ground to take home.  I gave them to Kathy to put in a vase on the dining room table.  They look beauriful there!  Before you have a heart attack, I know that this is poison ivy.  I was just kidding about bringing them home.  Just wanted to see who recognized how stupid I would have to be to do this!  But here's the thing - we have had poison ivy in our ivy and I don't remember it turning red in the fall.  So...  Maybe this is not poison ivy.  "Leaves of three, let them be."  So is it?
