covert, ks and my gun toting husband :)

well, i figured with all the pictures accumulating, might as well. put it up, yes. this one was the trip that we made..tak tau bila lah..dah lupa but it was like 2 weeks ago maybe or even less. my memory is not serving me well..plus did i mention that this keyboard sux..hehe. anyway, covert is this ghost town like about 30-40 miles away from us. and the person who bought this town, yes...you can buy the town if you want..is working with sean at the prison. this dentist comes up once in a while if there were enough ppl he has to do surgery on. but since, sean has been doing most of the surgeries, he had not come up lately. so we went to check it out and it is really pretty cool.


tengah driving2..i suddenly saw this lucious dark green patch amongst the light green or baked part of the pastures..

the blue hills..can you see it? the slate or whatever it is from afar looks somewhat blue

one of the couple of abandoned houses still standing

we took the backroads to get there and came across some fantastic looking landscape here in kansas. where in the west you have red hills...kat sini you have the blue hills. wait till you see the picture okay. this was the most fun that we had riding on this old pick up truck. we were out for almost half the day. i'll just let the pictures do the talking okay. sebab tak ada event yang interesting aside from the sceneries lah.

our .45


our old .22

on another note...you know..it took me 5 years to discover sean nyer pyromaniac nyer side kan..this time..it took me another 5 years to find out that sean is actually a gun nut. yes you read it right..gun nut. he bought a .45 calibre gun. ermm..i forgot the name pulak..let's see it is from Springfield Armoury. so guess what we did then...of course lah..family shooting outing..hahha. the last time i shot a gun was with the .22 about 5 mths ago maybe...and now i have to get used to the handling and feel of it as well as the noise..boleh pekak sehh. so i shot the .22 but i got bored though..i shot the .45 once jer..but the recoil was too much for me..hehe. no interest lah..but sean said that i need to practice sometime. so what did we end up doing..while bapak pretend jadi koboi kan..the girls and i were happily shooting pictures of the surrounding area..dapat jugak amik gambar bunga2...and nice pictures of the girls really. but that's not all...guess what he wants to get next..he said that if obama becomes president certain semi-auto assault rifle will be banned..so dia dah planning dah nak beli satu end of this mth..alamakkkkk...i dunno what to say apa dah...dah nak jadi ted nugent agaknyer..hahaha. but he did say that this is a sort of investment because for some reason, guns do not lose it's value..if anything, it gets to be more expensive at resale...we'll see.. as usual for more pics pls go here :)

kakak, apa lagi lah..lari2 macam no boundaries gitu..


she was happy just to be able to touch the flowers and the small grasshoppers :)

salams faisal :) thanks :) i am using nikon d40x :) hai..kat sana you can own guns kan..or is it only senapang..

Faisal Admar said...

you can only own guns for some reasons based on some laws. i'm not rich enough to get one yet... or is it the same there and you have been lucky? hehe.

bunkerangs said...

ohh..i see..kena ada valid reason eh..kat sini..so long as your background check is okay..you can get the gun on the spot. and of course, i am thinking that things are slightly cheaper over here..sebab they are manufactured here as well. my hub is a citizen..so no prob..i pulak, can only buy a gun, but i cannot conceal carry..it is against the law..hehe

Ooohhhh Cik Sean beli tembak rupanyer!!! *hehehee* Minat betul dia dgn shooting. Takpe lah Rosma, you shooting gambar, dia shooting botol. Same same lah the activity *heheee* At least you'll feel safer at nites with a trained shooter in the house. Siapa lah tahu, ada possum masuk rumah ke apa, senang aje - shoot [with the camera or gun, both pun boleh]. *hehehe* sorry i merepek pulak.

I love the two pix of the girls! I think the colors are awesome. A bit of sepia tone. You should print and frame these up - pix ada a bit of nostalgia in them.

hello sweets :) yup...looks like he'll be buying more nampaknyer...but betul kata you..i shoot gambar..he shoot botol..hahahaha. oh, the sepia tone is the natural lighting that day..it was almost sunset and you know, that's my fav time of the day to shoot pictures :)
