Until Now

In English the phrase “until now” is used to refer to a change of circumstances where the change happens now.  Here's an example. This famous painting has a hidden meaning no one ever understood until now "Vincent van Gogh painted his famous Starry Night a year before his death, in June 1889. Not only is it one of the artist’s greatest works, but it also is one of the most important works of art in the history of Western painting. In 2004, observations using Hubble Space Telescope revealed swirling clouds of dust and gas surrounding a distant star. And as astronomers claim, these Galaxy images look uncannily like Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. The scientists began to study how the artist’s works connects to the actual discovery and found out that there is a distinct pattern of turbulent fluid structures in many of Van Gogh’s paintings".

I will be 29 until further notice Due to an intense mind fog, all my thoughts have been grounded until further notice I am out of order until further notice.  My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning  and my "give a damn" is broke pending repairs Due to the current work load, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice Sorry.  Mind closed until further notice Today's image is a close-up of what's commonly called Frosty Fern.  Such an intricate plant leaf.  It is Selaginella kraussiana, also known as a spikemoss.
