Looks like mountain ash by the leaves and berries, can you post a bark photo?

Yup, "mountain ash" indeed, although that isn't an ash. Also called "rowan". Some species in the genus Sorbus, probably Sorbus aucuparia. Decent bowood! Run a search for the various names I listed.

We've got one in the front yard. I just have to convince my wife that it could do without that one straight trunk.  >:D

The berries picked after the first frost also make a superb gelly that goes very well with venison,and somewhere i have a recepie on them somehow picled in cognac that also is very good
It's better to ask and look like a fool than not to ask and remain one...
