Elder - Sambucus nigra

 
I found this Elder among the more rural locations within Longford Park, Manchester - on a particularly sunny day. The Elder is a small deciduous  tree or like the one I photographed - a large shrub. The leaves can are green throughout the summer, but can be expected to turn a deep plum red before falling in the Autumn.
