#57 - Guelder Rose Berries through a Leaf

I had no idea what this tree was but the berries look so beautiful and bright I was sure they were poisonous, they look amazing, with a sort of waxy sheen that makes them glow in the sunshine in an almost menacing way . Apparently, it's Guelder Rose and not even that poisonous, merely 'mildly toxic'. 'Edible in small quantities' according to Wikipedia, still, I don't fancy trying them, they look like they are daring you to! I love the lacy leaves though, all eaten away, barely there green rags - slightly apologetic beside the bold berries.
