The Hobbit Drawings

The first time I watched the Hobbit, I thought it was amazing.  I decided to draw the 13 dwarves and several other characters.  Enjoy!

"Loyalty, honor and a willing heart...I can ask no more than that." -Thorin Oakenshield

"Fili...at your service." -Fili
"Kili...at your service." -Kili


"Ravens have been seen flying back to the mountain as it was foretold.  When the birds of the old return to Erebor, the reign of the best will end." -Oin

"He says he's an expert, hehe!" -Gloin

"Aye, the wild is no place for gentle folk who can neither fight nor fend for themselves." -Dwalin

"I thought to myself then 'There is one I could follow.  There is one I could call King." -Balin

*sigh language* -Bifur

"No.  No.  you can't turn back now.  You're part of the company.  You're one of us." -Bofur

"I often think of Bag End.  I miss my books, my armchair, and my garden.  See, that's where I belong.  That's home.  That's why I came back, 'cause you don't have one...a home.  It was taken from you, but I will help you take it back if I can." -Bilbo Baggins

"What do you mean?  Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good on this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?" -Gandalf

"Why the halfling?" -Galadriel

Horse Riding

A very nice lady has had my sister, Emily, and I over to ride her horses several times.  I shall first introduce you to the horses.  There are three of them.  

Bessie 

El 

PB

 Halle feeding El and PB

 Halle petting PB 

 Kissing the horsies 

 A gentle nudge  

"Do you have any more treats?" 

 Halle's little brother Logan is adorable.  He's a little cowboy.  

 The horses were so big compared to him.  :)  

"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat...and a little child will lead them." 

Emily riding Bessie 

Job 39:19-25 
“Have you given the horse strength?
  Have you clothed his neck with thunder?  
Can you frighten him like a locust?  
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
  he gallops into the clash of arms.
He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;  
nor does he turn back from the sword.
The quiver rattles against him, 
the glittering spear and javelin.
He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
 nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.  At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ 
 He smells the battle from afar,
 the thunder of captains and shouting.

The Zoo!

Who likes to go to the Zoo?  I do.  I love watching the animals.  Last year we went on a trip to the zoo. Here are some pictures.  Enjoy!  

 This seal was so cute!  

 Did I mention he was cute?  :)  

They had camel rides.  I wished I could've ridden one.   

 Lily.  :) 

 Lamas.  They don't smell the best.

 Flamingoes are so pretty.  I love the color.  

Otters.  These little otters were all over the place.  

 A beautiful peacock

The rainforest was probably my favorite place.

I just had to take a picture of this ladder.  It was so cool.  I guess it reminds me of a treehouse.  

This bridge was the best.  We had so much fun swinging on it.  

Walking across the bridge.  

We had much fun climbing on this sea-lion!  As you can see, it was a big hit for Emily.  

HeHe.  A one eyed Zebra.  My other eye just didn't make it in there.

The caves were pretty awesome.  I love the sound of the drippings in the caves!

The drawings on the wall made me think of "The Door to the Dimholt Road" in LOTR.   

This one did also.  I, of course, had to take a picture of it.  :)  

The forest was pretty sweet.  It felt like you were in a real forest.

Emily Photo-shoot

My younger sister dressed up, so I decided to take some pictures.  

 This looks like it could be on a movie cover.  

 Gorgeous!  

 ... 

 I think she looks like Eyown, from Lord of the Rings, in this picture.  

And this picture.  :)  

 She looks very determined and bold.  

I love how her hair is blowing in the wind.  

Emily, you're such a great friend:D
