Narrative:

I was returning from a one day trip to ZZZ. I had gone down and left the aircraft on the ZZZ tie down overnight. I parked the plane when I arrived. I do not know if it was moved in my absence. I departed ZZZ the next day for a VFR flight direct to ZZZ1. I began a VFR descent about 20 miles southwest of ZZZ1. I stayed above 2500 feet until clear of charlie airspace. I was told by approach to expect a straight-in for runway xx. Given the direction of flight this was not practical so I set up for a left base entry to runway xx. I lowered the landing gear when entering about a 6 mile base leg; turned final; and set up approach and landing speeds. Landing was normal; on speed targets. Mains touched first and as I lowered the nose the prop struck the pavement. I slid to a stop on the nose.
