Welcome Gnome

This gnome welcomes travelers on our wooded trail in the back of our property.

Reading his expression, I'd say he's quite bored. Tracks show that only a single wild animal (likely a rabbit) passed his way lately.

Carol and I trekked the trail today, symbolically blazing a path in the beginning of 2013, and lo! and behold! The faithful gnome was there to welcome us to the new year.

Happy New Year!
