One Washington state couple is happy to have their missing garden gnome back after it returned with vacation pictures.



They say the gnome disappeared off their front porch in Snoqualmie one day in August.



The couple figured the gnome was gone for good, until Tuesday.



The gnome was sitting on the porch with no note or explanation, just an envelope stuffed with photos.



Inside the envelope were 49 photos taken from Oregon to Texas, with stops in Nevada, Oklahoma, and more.



In one photo, the gnome is perched upon the entrance to the Grand Canyon.



In another, the presidents at Mount Rushmore are looking down upon the gnome.



One picture shows the gnome in the hands of a giant dinosaur.



The couple says they're keeping the gnome on the porch during the day but bringing him in at night.
