Hi there!
Our assigned weekly topic for Macro Mondays was "Two." It could be number 2, the written word number two, or two things the same or similar. I thought that two Lifesavers might just do the trick.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

Wet and wild weather early this morning at Little Bay.
The overhang on the left, besides having striking striations, was also a great shelter from the wind and the rain. While others were fighting umbrellas and fidling with gear one handed, Gerard and I were comfortably ensconced in this natural shelter.

I find it hard to win
Back on the ground again
I feel like giving in
But you're my second wind
Don't you ever tire
Facing all my fires
I don't need no one but you right now
So, I say
[Refrain:]
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand
I take it like an oar from the depth
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair
But you're fighting for me right until the end.
You pull me back to land and save me once again
You help me wash away
The insane mistakes I made
And I see it in your face
My only source of grace
No, I don't take for granted
All the time you've wasted
Making sacrifices for a fool
So, I say
[Refrain]
You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stay
You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
Made up stand tall
But without you I'd fall
[Refrain]
You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stay!

A pair of Operation Lifesaver painted GP38-2's cross over the Ohio River as they lead Norfolk Southern local C17 into Steubenville, Ohio. The train is heading back towards the yard at Mingo Junction, Ohio after working industries along the Wells Industrial Track on the West Virginia side of the river.

A Tricolor Heron on the banks of Lake Toho, Florida. I just love the reds mixed in with the blues; and matching eyes (contacts?).
In what would be my first train of 2023, Amtrak's "Operation Lifesaver" unit #203 leads a westbound California Zephyr #5 past the big grain elevators of Somonauk, IL on the second day of the new year. In a case of "almost but not quite," this unit had eluded me multiple times up to this point, and it continues to elude me after. This day also happened to be my last day of Christmas break (what Christmas break?), I made it a point to catch it. It had been held up in Bristol, IL waiting its eastbound counterparts to clear, so by the time it got to me, I had lost a good amount of afternoon light on an already overcast day.
