No, not a new camera. Those were taken on the Pig Trail. It is a 75 mile stretch of winding, 2-lane highway that runs from Eureka Springs to Ozark (or vice versa....depending where you're starting) through Ozark National Forest. It's a very popular ride for bikers. I live about a mile from the Eureka Springs end. I've been trying to get my sister and her new husband to come visit. She had heard of the Pig Trail, so I told her I would take some pictures. I was in Ft. Smith for court yesterday, so I took the Pig Trail back. Got lots of pictures, but the sun was wrong for a lot I would like to have gotten.

"New kitties? Thats good. Names and pics?"

I could've sworn I posted pictures. I even remember doing the post. I'm guessing I must have gotten distracted before actually hitting "post." That was several days ago.

The kitties' names are Tigger and Kismet. Tigger showed up at Ron's when I was holding up there during the ice storm last winter. He was starving and injured and wouldn't let anyone near him, except he would come to eat. He was so defensive, we just assumed he was feral. I was actually surprised he survived. After the ice was gone and he was less hungry, he wanted in the house and he wanted to be petted, even though he was still very cautious. Then we figured that he had belonged to someone and had either been abandoned or lost. Ron's cats are declawed and he didn't want another cat in the house, so I told him I'd take him as long as he could be taught proper indoor manners. It took till June to get it all worked out, but I took him, got him neutered and brought him home. I figured if I was going to get another one, this would be the time to do it. I got on Petfinder and ended up adopting Kismet from the Siloam Springs shelter. He was a rescue kitty and was about 3 months old. These 2 are practically attached at the hip.

Tigger is the orange one and Kismet is the white one.
