Sambucus Nigra

The Sambucus Nigra is sometimes known as the "Black Lace Elder";  besides having these extraordinary tiny pink flowers it has a beautiful lacy and almost black foliage.  When Walking Wombat said she wanted something really tiny for the challenge this week it really did turn into a challenge as although previously I'd had a few ideas, nothing seemed to be small enough.  However a walk around the garden (again) and I found plenty blip opportunites.

The blip I really wanted to post today was an individual flower from the Cotoneaster  -  complete with tiny bug;  I had taken the shot hand held though, and as such I hadn't been steady enough.  It's one I rather liked and so I'm thinking of trying it again,  but next time I'll use the tripod.

Thanks to Walking Wombat for hosting.
