Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Thank you!
My kit is mostly pieced together from here and there.
The cloak is DIY, made of cotton.
I know, not very useful for a serious traveler in the wild, but seeing as the temperature was 94 degrees today it suited my purpose well!
My jerkin was made by a friend in New Jersey, and very reliable while comfortable.
If West Virginia has nothing else, there are at least some amazing forests here!
They make for some excellent Middle Earth-ish scenery.
The cave is actually just a few rocks that fell together to form a perfect doorway into a shadowy cavernous space.
(PS- These images probably would not look so amazing if it weren't for my talented lady, whose profession this is.)

Ernildhir: The Ranger Apprentice is perfectly acceptable, particularly as the "Apprentice" is a member
JBook: Nothing in the rules about everyone being a Ranger, it's all good.
Everyone: So far Great Job ! The entries so far are all extremely well done !

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Wow! There are a lot of really good pictures here!
This is also awesome for us beginners, because it gives us good ideas for starting our own kits!

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Congrats to Jake, our first entrant EVER to post a non-ranger entry (not counting stuff like Ercnildihir's Gandalf)!
Alrighty, there is one more that I'm still working on, but here are a few, for starters.
In the Shire

That is a cool couple pictures!
Regardless of what you actually have in that cup, Maia looks as if she wants you to make her some coffee.

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Alright, Pete. You asked for it.
Rangers, I'd like you all to meet my homeboy, Gwaihir, at the Carrock.

I can't help but wonder what Maia would have been thinking. Great editing job!
Further, that picture looks like it would be a good subject for a caption contest.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Ok I plan to take a good pic or two this weekend but I was out mowing today and passed our blueberry bush and couldn't resist. So, I guess this is in the Shire...

Blueberries make for good eating!
