#Heatwave has #eased across #Victoria with most areas expecting temperature in the 20s & a sprinkling of low-30s.

There are NO districts rated as at #catastrophic or #extreme #firedanger.

Still 3 #emergency-level fires -2 in central Victoria in #Longwood & #Ravenswood
South, & 1 in #Walwa.

A fire in the Alpine National Park has been downgraded to a Watch & Act after the fire spread slowed overnight.

There are 4 blazes at Watch and Act level in the west & south-west. #VicFires #StaySafe

Finally a small night off from parenting - a trip to Dovetail with a Helles, a Vienna Lager, and capped off with a Kölsch. Best part is that they have German pretzels with spicy mustard. Picked up a Hefeweizen four-pack to go. I am so grateful that I live in within a ten minute walk of four fantastic breweries that are part of #Chicago Brewer’s Row in #Ravenswood.

Snowed Man

Here's a shot from the last winter storm we had here in Chicago. Most of the snow is gone now but while it was here it was pretty.

Been a bit busy lately but decided to make a point of posting more photos in September - I have a big backlog!

This is a mural outside an Irish gift shop on Montrose Avenue in Ravenswood, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Notice the Tayto pack in the squirrels haul in the corner. A nice image for the autumn!

Photo taken on 13 August 2024.

I love painted ads on buildings. Especially older ones because most likely, someone actually did the painting. Taken on a walk to our local Aldi's.

Sounds about right.

I've lived in this neighborhood for about five years.

This is one of a series of local hand made candles at a booth in an artists gallery in Andersonville.

All of the candle feature common neighborhood stereotypes.

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods that like to make fun of each other.
