If you can't beat them...

Black Elderberry.

Offhand I can't remember the variety this is, all I can remember is that it is a black variety of the common Elderberry Sambucus niger.

Not outside a lot today but during a quick visit to the Lodge I noticed these on the bush. We planted the bush a few years ago but until this year it hasn't made much growth and has never flowered. In spring it had lovely soft pink flowers.

The other choice for blip would have been the vivid red leaves of the Cotinus complete with water drops.
