He just showed up one day last year. I thought he was a birthday gift from Nancy, but then I began to wonder. Is he the same gnome I found so many years ago at the souk in Sousse, Tunisia on a road trip from Tripoli to Tunis? Is he the same one I called Henri? He hung around for years before disappearing. Back then he had no suitcase, but now he does and he's always ready to boogie! He's a great travelling companion and keeps his valise packed and ready to go. He's quiet and unassuming, but always very focused on the road ahead. Henri likes the camera though....that is, to be in front of the camera, so it's no surprise when he suddenly pops up in front of the lens. I had planned to use my picture, not Henri's, for my blog avatar, but....things happen, oddly enough.
See Katney at Katney's Kaboodle for Odd Shots Monday!

I think he escaped from the television commercial showing him falling off a cliff. Some insurance company.
:) Take care of him, making him feel welcome so he does not have to disappear again.
May you never roam alone.
Should Henri ever decide to head this way, he would certainly be welcome! Sounds like he has some great lessons to teach and stories to tell!
I hope Abe is right. It looks like Henri is a friendly guy!
If you have time swing by my blog today.
Have a good week.
I think he's wonderful a real charactor.
Looks like the perfect traveling companion to me!

Very clever and intertaing post.
I like the fog photo also.
Great odd shot photo.
Come visit our odd shot,

Now he's a great friend to have around. I think he might find my toadstool a bit small - or did he visit and adapt it?
It is good to have someoen always ready to travel with you.
I think Henri's kinda cute!
Hey, I think he starred in the French movie, "Amelie"!
Odd ... or strange enough ... somehow it reminds me of a certain RAF that sometimes visits my blog :)
I'm sure I've seen him in my neighbourhood!
Oddly enough, all right :)Intrepid, I think. Do believe I last saw Henri in Lauterbrunnen.
Nice suitcase! Maybe that's why he disappeared -- he's a traveling man and now has come back to take you along.
Could you please send Henri over to me and help me ascend Mt. Ironing?
;)
I think I saw that guy with the suitcase as I was heading over the pass last Friday. Hmmmmm
Hi, RAF! That's really funny how we both posted "little friends who travel," me with Radovan and you with Henri.
He reminds me of the elf in the film "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain," which I think was known as "Amelie of Montmartre" in the US.
Henri perhaps wonders why he is "odd".
C'est la vie, Henri.
uh huh...
Is Henri related to Radovan?
Inquiring minds want to know....
