Tree Gnome!

It rained almost all day with patches of dry spells in between. I did not get one really good clear shot of anything today. I noticed this image in the yard next door on their tree way across at the other side of the yard. I 'm not sure if they just put it up or if I just never noticed it before, but thought it a curious thing to blip today. Yard and garden gnomes are popular decorations and sometimes the subject of pranks.

Gnome (noun):
1. (European Myth & Legend) one of a species of legendary creatures, usually resembling small misshapen old men, said to live in the depths of the earth and guard buried treasure
2. the statue of a gnome, esp in a garden
3. In the occult philosophy of Paracelsus, a being that has earth as its element.

I guess there is a game about tree gnomes: Tree Gnome Village
The tree gnomes are in trouble. General Khazard's forces are hunting them to extinction.
Find your way through the hedge maze to the gnomes secret treetop village.
Then help the gnomes fight Khazard and retrieve the orbs of protection.

I was holding out for a final burst of sun and a rainbow, but as of 7:30 pm, no signs of sun; so the tree gnome wins!
