It was huge! I was stunned 😳 I would guesstimate it was 4 foot wide and 2-3 foot high. (1.2 meters - .75- 1 meters) This is a shot from the side of it. Isn’t it great? 🥰

#BirdyLongLegs is the alt prompt for #BirdoftheDay, and these Black-necked Stilts seen in flight, reflected over calm water certainly have long legs, and very pink. Though normally graceful, when landing they can look a bit like a rubber chicken. #Birds #eck 🪶

Two Black-necked Stilts (Himantopus mexicanus) fly over a dark, reflective water surface, creating a clear mirror image. Their black-and-white plumage and long pink legs are visible against the deep blue reflection.

Grey sky did me a favor: no harsh shadows on the moss, so the pink and all that green stay calm and even. The standing stones are the ones that will still be here in a hundred years, but the crape myrtle in bloom gets all the attention. #RockinTuesday #photography #travelphotography #garden

I have a very small file of bird photos, but somehow I can post what I have every now and then. You've seen my wondrous #KingParrot before, however, I did happen to get one of him snoozing. So I just make it again, thanks Helen. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdNaps Alt: #BrightAccents #ECK #Birds #Australia

An Australian King Parrot takes a nap. The Parrot has a bright red head, and body, with green wings. He has an orange beak, black eyes with a yellow trim around the eye. He is facing left and in sitting on a light brown tree branch. A patch of sunlight lights up his back. He's a relaxed fella. The background is a mix of out of focus tree trunks and a green fence

Palestinian residents of Gaza fled their homes and businesses as Israeli strikes and tank fire killed at least four people, including two children, hospital officials say. www.nbcnews.com/world/gaza/s...

Strikes in Gaza kill 4, including 2 children, a week after U.S. asked Israel to curb attacks

Israel has continued to carry out targeted killings in the week since a U.S. delegation met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push last year’s ceasefire deal forward.

Not just neanderthals, a trillion seconds ago also predates the late-Triassic crocodylomorphs.

The count to a trillion seconds supposedly started around when Neanderthals went extinct, but the timing of that extinction is still debated.

Fossil Tuesday @paleo-weekly.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

A trillion seconds would take 31,700 years, roughly the time since neanderthals went extinct.

31,700 years - that's how long it would take to count a trillion seconds, which is just mind-boggling when you consider neanderthals were already gone by then.

31,700 years is how long it would take to count a trillion seconds, a timescale that stretches back to when neanderthals went extinct.

The time it takes to count a trillion seconds suggests it started around when Neanderthals went extinct, a late Pleistocene event.

The time it takes to count a trillion seconds is roughly the same time that has passed since the extinction of the late Pleistocene species, such as the Neanderthals, around 31,700 years ago, as reported in the Journal of Human Evolution.

The time it takes to count a trillion seconds suggests that if you started counting around the time neanderthals went extinct, you'd reach that point today, roughly 31,700 years later, during the present day.
