525 ROAD RALLY - WRONG AND RIGHT

So there were two ways to do the Road Rally Challenge - the right way and the wrong way.  The FIRST time I did it I did so many things wrong - didn't stay on the highway, didn't stay in my car and did it on the wrong day (Tuesday and I was dry and in bright sunshine!)  About all I did get right was the Animal/Vegetable/Mineral part.    But I am a perfectionist, and a teacher who always gave do-overs for "making it better".  So I awarded myself one today and did the road rally over -  RIGHT this time (well, mostly).  I started my sketches in my car pulled over on 525 (scared I was going to get sideswiped or run off private property with a gun) and sketched what I saw (or shot).  Here are the results.  I had ANOTHER great day, and am happy.  Sue???
(WRONG) ANIMAL!  Llama on "Fence Patrol" on Double Bluff Road
(WRONG) VEGETABLE 1!  Lilac bushes with their own private house - Bayview Road
WRONG AGAIN) VEGETABLE 2 -A field of my favorite Noxious Weed on Bayview Road
(WRONG) MINERAL! - It's there, but so light the scanner wouldn't pick it up - the giant rock that is Mt. Rainer,
seen from Double Bluff Beach park. 



RIGHT ANIMAL!!
RIGHT VEGETABLE!!
RIGHT MINERAL!!

    OK, now I feel guilty for teasing you, but these are all so fabulous! Great job. I think you found the best animal and mineral on the highway! (I took the liberty of increasing the size of your sketches.)
