The first picture represents where I live in North Carolina. Which is on Lake Wheeler road. This picture represents how I like living near the lake and like going there to ride in a boat or just go with my family. The second picture is the North Carolina state bird. I chose this picture because it represents North Carolina just like a flag of North Carolina would. the last picture is South Carolina state tree. I chose this photo because I am from South Carolina and the tree has history by when South Carolina was in war the palm trees would block the bombs from killing or hurting anybody. i also just think the tree is cool.
