It's been more than a year (2020 was not conducive to the roaming gnome lifestyle) but I'm back! Enjoying the explosion of color that is #Texas #wildflowers #bluebonnets #springisintheair #springintexas

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

No need to travel far today. #Spring in #Texas is everywhere! #springflowers #SpringIsHere @TravelTexas @TexasHighways @cityofgranbury @ExploreTXNature

Learning about the #Christmas #traditions of #Alsace #France in #Strasbourg, Capitale de Noël @Stras_Tourisme

Wow, #Luxembourg marks my 25th non-US country to visit! What a great way to start a new year and a new decade! @luxembourginfo @LuxembourgLU #LetsMakeItHappen

Picking up some rosé brut from the #wine country of #Remich #Luxembourg. Caves St Martin looks like my kind of place! Though, I had a smaller bottle in mind... 🍷 @luxembourginfo

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

Thanks to #Schengen Agreement, I can roam among many countries in Europe without needing to pull out my #passport. Any guesses where I keep it? #Luxembourg @luxembourginfo

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

A shining introduction to #Luxembourg @luxembourginfo

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

The panoramic view of #ChemindelaCorniche #Luxembourg @luxembourginfo

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

Meandering along history in the Basse Ville of #Luxembourg @luxembourginfo

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

The elevator between the old Basse Ville and the modern Haute Ville is an attraction in itself. Courage! #Luxembourg @luxembourginfo

What a charming town! I wonder if @CochemMosel #Germany would hire a gnome to play an 8th dwarf in the town square? @GermanyTourism

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

Impressed by the imposing #castle @Reichsburg perched above #Cochem #Germany. It played a part in some major events in German #history @CochemMosel @GermanyTourism

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

I got along splendidly with the statuesque residents of the electoral palace in #Trier #Germany. The secret is to always have a bouquet of flowers for the lovely ladies. @GermanyTourism

#Trier #Germany has a fun New Year's tradition - a @Bitburger #marathon through town. If I joined I would still be running by next New Year's Eve, so instead I listened to the live music and cheered on the runners from the sidelines.

Two churches are neighbors in #Trier #Germany. The right is the first fully Gothic style in Germany from the 13th century. The left was the first bishop's seat. Both have grown with the city and mix traditional and modern #religiousart.

Starting the New Year in #Trier #Germany by learning from #history, including #Roman structures that have survived since ca. 2 BCE; many are a @UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite. #PuertaNigra #Barbarathermen #Kaiserthermen #RomanEmpire

[Russet The Gnome @GnomeRuss]

Of course, #Köln (#Cologne) #Germany is the birthplace of cologne! #Farina developed Eau de Cologne in 1709, and 4711 cologne followed in 1799. @GermanyTourism
