Here's a link to an image I posted about which I asked about ID.
Below I'm going to post three images I took today to better show the plant and the leaves. The location is in the little stream bed in both shade and sun.

"A typical description of Queen Anne's Lace leaves are characterized by; "Alternate, more than once pinnately divided, fern-like, ovate-lanceolate in outline, 2 to 8 inches long, .8 to 2.8 inches wide; ultimate divisions linear to lanceolate, 1/12 to 1/2 inch long, 1/50 to 1/12 wide, margins entire or few-cleft, tips pointed"."
A description of water hemlock leaves I found says:
"Leaves: Alternate compound leaves with lance-shaped leaflets, pointed, with numerous teeth. Note the sometimes multiples of leaves giving rise to a somewhat haphazard arrangement of leaves along the leaf stem. Sometimes doubly compound or lobed. Sometimes tinged with red. Up to about 4″ long, 1.5″ wide. The veins on the leaflets end at the notches between the teeth (this is unusual in plants)."
Do those two descriptions plus the images below help ID this for sure?
