The Jardin des Tuileries had many surprises on our recent visit with several snowmen and other icy creations. However, this fellow, short in stature, seemed to have the most artistry and character. As I snapped this photo other paparazzi moved in quickly.

I wish you a happy New Year, dear Genie!et un bon réveillon!:)
Oh how cute he is. Have a happy new year Genie and thanks for your continuous support.
A terrific, prosperous new year to you Genie!
There is something decidedly Toulouse-Lautrec-y about him. So glad I "met" you this year, Genie. Hope that we get to meet face-a-face in 2011! Thanks for all your wonderful pix of Paris --
He looks like a solid block of ice, his cute little face frozen in time in the lens of your camera. A dirty little vagabond, happy that it's cold.
Stay warm, Genie. From the looks of him, it's pretty cold in Paris!

Have a wonderful New Year my dear friend. See you in a few weeks!!!
I've never been successful at building a snowman. It's a cute shot!
Bonne Année mon amis! I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful images in 2011. No doubt you will stir up more Paris envy in me!
Looks like a real party guy and ready for the New Year. Thank you for the wonderful comment today. I so look forward to another year of your wonderful photos. Happy New Year Genie!

Liz -- I just wish I was freezing with him in Paris although I think that by now he would have been wearing his swim trunks with the high waters of the Seine!
Marie -- You, too, my dear friend. See you soon...

What a cool little snowman!
James -- I am hoping that you will find snow on your next trip to Paris!
He's such a typical city snowman, all dotted with gravel because the snow was so thin. A very likeable character nevertheless. I'm sure the kids had a ball (pun intended) making it :-)
