Oooh we love pictures precious  !
1. Ok I know we've compared a lot of character body parts on these boards  but we do not recall covering Hobbit feet. So I'm going to guess that this is Bilbo and also guess this is in Mirkwood. But I have no idea on this one and really hope I get the rest! (I haven't peeked yet.)
2. Oh those eyes. *swoon*. Needless to say, that could be no one else than Thorin. (at least I know I got one right, lol)
3. Interesting! It's beautiful artwork (engraving? scrollwork?) but hmm, who would *want* a dragon motif.....idk, I guess either Erebor or Laketown? Dale? Some place that had a date with a dragon, I guess? But I don't know which  .
4. oh oh! This is the Seat of Seeing, right? Amon Hen?
5. That is the breastplate of "my lord, Elrond"  .
6. That looks like the bedroom where Frodo wakes up in Rivendell
7. A cutie Pippin.
8. Speaking of body parts we've discussed     ...that's Aragorn's hand. And I believe that's Boromir's vambrace that he took after he died  *sob*
9. And that's Boromir's tunic, which Aragorn did *not* take .
10. Thranduil's crown (just noticing in that shot, it's so sharp and pointy. Doesn't it look like it might hurt a bit?)
Great choices, dormouse! Thanks for the fun!!

1. Wellllll.... "precisely" .... Is "Bag End" precise enough? I don't know which room this is.
2. Gandalf's baby blues.
3. One of the Hobbits, I think, Merry?
4. Wow, I have *no* idea!
5. Arwen? but I don't know where or when.
6. The Professor  .
7. Celeborn (?).
8. Gilraen's monument, in Rivendell.
9. Bilbo (looking cold).
10. Fili (looking bold)  .

oh gosh here goes my score down the drain ...
1. I'll say Bard, but only because I ran out of other characters this could possibly be. For some reason it doesn't look like him to me ... maybe too much Photoshop.
2. Theoden.
3. Lothlorien, where Galadriel's mirror is?
4. Oh dear, where is Arwen's daughter when you need her . She would know this immediately! I have to pass on this one, I have no idea.
5. Gandalf's pipe in Gandalf's staff ???
6. Lindir/Figwit ????? (I'm running out of question marks, lol).
7. A sketch of the place where the Hobbits escaped from the Black Riders?
8. Fili (thanks for the blonde hair tip off, lol).
9. Erebor
10. Random gem inspecting dwarf in Erebor????
Whew! That was fun! Thanks for the game, dormouse. Looking forward to getting the answers on some of these tricksy ones!

It's getting harder! Here's my guesses:
2:1 Bag End
2:2 Gandalf
2:3 That belongs to Merry, I think...
2:4 Uuuuuhhh...Total guess: Gondor?
2:5 Elrond
2:6 The good professor himself: Tolkien
2:7 Celeborn
2:8 Rivendell. The memorial to Gilraen, Aragorn's mother, to be specific
2:9 Young Bilbo
2:10 Fili
There's hope for the hopeless, and all those who've strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There's rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow, that Heaven can't cure.
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are.

Even harder! My guesses:
3:1 Bard
3:2 Uuuuuuuuhhhhh...
3:3 Lothlorien
3:4 I think that's Kili
3:5 I was going to say Radagast's staff, but it has a pipe in it, so I guess it's actually Gandalf's staff
3:6 Elrond
3:7 Buckleberry Ferry on the Brandywine River? (Hehe...Hobbitty locations are fun to say )
3:8 Fili
3:9 Moria?
3:10 Ooooh, those eyes look so familiar and yet not familiar at the same time! Er...Could it be the King of Men who eventually became the Witch King of Angmar? I don't know his name...

“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series
