Vale

We call it The Shortcut.  We almost always want to go down to the creek when we go into Vale, an we can either take the long trail with the switchback or the more... direct route.  I like the direct route although it's pretty difficult to climb back up it in the winter!  I can't tell whether my favourite part is the gigantic tree that's fallen over the path (we walk under it!) or the wiggly tree on the left.  What made it grow like that, I wonder?
