Ok, so I had to submit this quickly because I think the clock ran out. (And forgive any spelling errors; I'm typing this without my contacts....) Forgive its sloppiness - I was in a hurry as it obviously looks... *sighs*

This is for the 50 Nifty States challenge, and for this I did the state of Maryland, my hometown.

About this picture:

- The girl is enjoying steamed blue crabs, which are exclusive to Maryland.
-The girl is wearing an Orioles' hat, which is our baseball team (one of the worst nowadays...but I still gotta support them!
-In the background is a sail boat - Maryland is known for its sailboats; we strive to be the sailboat capital of the world (but I think Australia is beating us there).
- On the sail of the sailboat is the Maryland flag, and the boat is supposed to be called "Chesapeake" in honor of our great Chesapeake Bay.
- I forgot to mention what the girl is eating the crabs with - Old Bay. It's a seasoning indigenous, if you will, to our state.

I would have colored this but I ran out of time. Also, this is a HORRID scan. Apparently scanning tracing paper results in crappy...results... Sorry for the crappy entry. When I clean it up and color it, I'll submit it again! T_T
