Is It Poison Ivy? #814943

Hello, hoping you can help identify the 'leaves of three' plants in the attached photos. I found these in an area that is mowed regularly but not utilized. New plan is to use the area for social gatherings. Looked it over today and the red leaves really popped out now that it's fall - hadn't noticed the plants when they were green because they blended in with everything else. I hope the photos are clear enough for identification purposes. I can get better photos the next time I'm there, if that will help. THANK YOU!

Greetings! This little beauty is known as wild strawberry. A Michigan native, it can grow in thick masses that will yield tiny, attractive fruits. Here is a link where you can obtain some additional information: https://www.canr.msu.edu/nativeplants/plant_facts/wild_strawberry_virginia_strawberry
Thank you for the quick response and the good news that I’m not going to have to deal with poison ivy!
Sincerely,
Marla
