; FOTD -- November 03, 2002 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image was supposed to rate at least a 7.  Unfortunately, 
; the ability to find great fractals is like artistic inspiration 
; -- it is not always there when needed.  Try as I may, I could 
; find nothing of reasonable worth with the M-Mix4 formula.  As a 
; last resort, I turned to the MandelbrotBC1 formula and drew the 
; default Mandeloid created by the very simple formula Z^1.75+C.
; 
; This parent Mandeloid resembles the classic M-set rotated about 
; 120 degrees cw, with the large period-2 bud sitting peacefully 
; on the northwest shoreline of the main bay.  Today's scene is 
; located in the southwest branch of the Seahorse Valley of the 
; parent.  It contains nothing that has not been seen before, and 
; has been rated at a very liberal 6.
; 
; The BC in the formula name stands for 'branch cuts', three of 
; which appear prominently in the image.  These discontinuities 
; must always appear in Mandeloids drawn with fractional powers of 
; Z.  The BC formula can move the cuts around by changing the 
; real(p2) parameter, but they will always be there.
; 
; I named the image "Pink and Blue" because of the large amount of 
; pink and blue it contains.  I consider the render time of 18 
; minutes a bit excessive for such a routine image.  Patient 
; fractalists will run the parameter file; others, with equal 
; patience but less spare time, will download the finished GIF 
; image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or:

; 
; Saturday brought sun and chilly winds here to Fractal Central.  
; The dynamic duo enjoy sun, but the sun was blocked by the 
; evergreen holly trees at the bottom of the yard, which left only 
; the winds and temperature of 50F 10C.  The duo does not like 
; chilly winds, and as a result, they were testy all day.  It took 
; a treat of tuna followed by a turkey treat to flip them into 
; wash-up mode and restore their good moods.
; 
; It's now a sunny but chilly Sunday morning.  The cats have not 
; yet asked to go out.  I have but a tiny bit of work to do before 
; I can get down to the serious business of relaxing and 
; fractaling.  The result of the fractaling will appear as 
; tomorrow's FOTD.  Until then, take care, and beware of hit-and-
; run fractals.
