Hi,
here are my pictures for the APDG ~ Hobbit Day swap,
I loved all of the movies. I was totally surprised as I hadn't realised what great stories they were. I had heard of the books and for some reason I thought they where about something totally different so had never read them.
I loved Orlando Bloom as Leggalis so had to include him
My hubby and I went to New Zealand for our 25th wedding anniversary and we visited the film set
Hobbiton. If you ever get a chance you really must go. It is truly beautiful. These are a few of the photos I took. I hope you like them
\
Looking across Bywater Pool to Hobbiton
This is inside The Green Dragon where we actually had a lovely cider.
One of the Hobbit homes. They are all diffent, sadly mostly only facades. The insides where filmed at the studio.
In 1971 I discovered The Hobbit shortly after I finished Watership Down. (My sister had recommended both books.) I will forever link the two in my mind even though Watership was written in 1970 and The Hobbit was an old book dating from 1937.
In 1977 Rankin/Bass produced an animated Hobbit for TV. The characters look nothing like the live action characters of the 2012-2014 films.
The only thing they seem to have in common is all that hair.
I still have this 2 page layout I found in TV guide safely tucked it in my copy of The Hobbit.
Peter Jackson's films are lavish and sprawling with characters that have depth beyond the book at times. (I just wish he hadn't had to make 3 movies out of it when 2 would have worked.)
I managed to read all of Tolkien's books at least once. And I have seen all of the movies at least once. But what I think I loved the most about them all was the Shire architecture. I want a house in the hillside.
Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil
Your passport challenge must be very interesting. I see you like pearls, cheese, turquoise, these are some of my favorite things also. Your profile is very well detailed and I enjoyed reading it. Have a great day!

On the strength of Hobbits:
Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil
