    I found a plant near my home and was wondering if you could help identify it

    Answer

    Dear governor3, the image is blurry, so I'm not 100% confident, but it appears to be Rhus typhina (staghorn sumac). If correct, you should notice a white latex exude from a torn leaf. It would be helpful to know the location of the images you post (location is a very important character that helps us narrow down the choices with plant identification). Best wishes.
