Or at least I see a possible origin for the Ents/Entwives.

Yes, that is what I was thinking. I wonder who the artist / sculptor was for that piece.

Love the one of him sitting on the bench,( Really seems to echo his genius as the professor and creator of our beloved Middle-earth!) and the one of him in his younger days with the Entish design.
"Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."

Has ANYONE seen that photo of a "young JRR"? Is it real?

This one? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/...cb1add8be6c63a4e.jpg
I haven't ever seen it (that is neither here nor there! I am not a Tolkien scholar, LOL) and am wondering if someone can verify that it is JRRT and that it is not photoshopped?
Can you give the link where you found it?

I was hoping it was a schoolboy photo, perhaps, on a "field trip" or vacation.
It's well done.

LOL
I meant it was a well-done forgery, that was all. For a photoshop or montage or whatever, it's pretty well done. I am not sure but that, if some of us were not obsessively examining all things Tolkien for so long, we would recognize it as a fake.

Thanks, that has a date on the picture "montage" that can clearly be seen

The date on the montages is clearer on this website (2012 is clearly marked on the picture "montage"). However, I predict that this will now get posted ad infinitum all over the web as an actual pic of Tolkien.
And one can only be so many places repairing mistakes on the internets!! LOL

The image of Tolkien (sans background) comes from Carpenter's biogrpahy.

I've been sitting on my hands, not wanting to pour cold water on everyone's fun; but the thing is that sites like pinterest - (and others; there's one which claims that recordings by JRR have been "DISCOVERED", whereas they've been on sale since 1967 and they're still copyrighted) - sites such as these will Take whatever they can, without knowing what they have, and throw photos, recordings, whatever, around the net, gathering 'oohs and 'aahs' and kudos, for Someone Else's work.
I've seen all of these photos; I've got them either in books or (in the case of the photos of Ronald and Edith, taken on the occassion of their 50th wedding anniversary), in the form of a set of photos which I bought in Oxford some time ago; because believe it or not, these are still copyrighted by the estate of the photographer, Pamela Chandler.

- that site which has 'revealed' those Tolkien recordings probably is pinterest. Can't remember exactly, now.

Thanks for clarifying. I am sure there is a photo of Nessie or BigFoot on there too.
