Narrative:
Standard landing approach to runway 13. Flared for landing and touched right rear wheel first. A wind gust lifted the plane from the left rear and the nose went into the runway damaging the propeller. The plane did not flip and ultimately settled on all 3 wheels. The engine continued to run and did not feel off-balance so I pulled off the runway and taxied to the ramp area. After shutting the engine down I exited the plane and examined the plane. The propeller was significantly damaged and the tip of the passenger side wing was slightly damaged.
