; FOTD -- August 25, 2003 (Rating 3)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Elephants certainly are common in fractals.  I run into them 
; everywhere.  They are almost as common as spirals and midgets.  
; They exist in both the Mandelbrot and Julia fractals, as well as 
; all the oblique planes in between.  They have a connection to 
; the East Valley areas of Mandelbrot Midgets, but not every 
; midget that lies in the East Valley of a larger midget has 
; elephants.
; 
; Today's image pictures a midget surrounded by 8 elephants.  
; There are an infinity of elephants closer in toward the midget, 
; as well as three of them farther out, but we will concern 
; ourselves only with the 8 clearly visible ones.  To make things 
; a bit more interesting, we will call the creatures wooly 
; mammoths instead of elephants, and name the image "Wooly 
; Mammoths".
; 
; But a clever name cannot turn a poor work of art into a great 
; one, nor can it turn a sub-par fractal into an exceptional one.  
; Today's image earns only a lowly 3.  The fault is mine.  While 
; working on it, I could find no fractal inspiration at all, and 
; believe it or not, inspiration is a necessary part of great 
; fractal images.
; 
; The 11-minute render time can be avoided by downloading the 
; completed GIF image from one of the FOTD web sites:

; 
; Sunday's weather turned into the best of the month here at 
; Fractal Central, with nothing but sun and a temperature of 79F 
; 26C.  Still being a bit irate about Friday's business events, I 
; could not fully appreciate the near-perfection, but the dynamic 
; duo, who never engage in the folly of business, had a gorgeous 
; day, and needed no treats to make them happy.
; 
; Today means back to work, (as well as back to school), but that 
; is not bad news, for the day could only be better than Friday.  
; I will return for certain in 24 hours with a better fractal, so 
; until then, take care, and count to 10.
