If you have ever visited Red Hook and found yourself on Budds Corners Road, this is a tree you would remember. In these photos the ground is covered with snow but there are times the tree is surrounded by corn or other crops. I have had the pleasure of seeing it in all seasons and I know somewhere in my collections of photos I have photos of it in other seasons.
With some bad weather this winter the tree came down; on closer examination it was clear that the inside was rotted. When you take a second look all is not lost there is still one limb left. I am rooting for this tree that the one limb will come alive this spring.
Funny enough I thought I was the only one who was following the story of this tree, but when i mentioned it to several residents they too thought the tree was special, somewhat of a landmark. I even had a request for any photos I might have. Yes, even a small tree can touch our lives.

Nice story Jennifer.
Jennifer - I can relate to the tree. It has been through much, but it will survive

Very interesting and in some ways profound...I see in your post the fact that adversity can be a source of new growth. Thank you for sharing these inspiring images with your friends on Fraiche Aire!
Great photos and a nice story to go with them, thank you
Jennifer, The photo of the tree is beautiful. I hope there is some life left. Let us know what happens.
Even in the winter, the Mid Hudson Valley looks great.
Hi Jennifer...Whenever I see a tree by itself out in a field I always wonder if it is lonely. I hope this one knows that you are all out there rooting for it.
