; ---------
; 
; FOTD February 17, 1999, (A Little Lotus)
; 
; Fractal visionaries:
; 
; It was a bright and sunny day here at the Fractal Place -- 
; unusually warm for winter, but pleasant nonetheless.  The 
; temperature of 64F 18C was perfect for hunting fractals, and as 
; you might expect, I hunted.
; 
; Yesterday's FOTD was a bit disappointing, so I decided to post 
; an extra impressive fractal as today's FOTD.  The workhorse 
; MandelbrotMix4 formula once again did its job when I needed it, 
; turning up today's lotus-like picture after only 15 minutes of 
; searching.  The scene I stumbled upon resembles an unfolding 
; lotus blossom, so I named it "A Little Lotus".  The parameter 
; file runs slow, but as always, the GIF file of the image has 
; been posted to:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Now, I must make a confession.  I hate to disappoint my 
; philosophy lovers, but I've got no words of wisdom today.  I've 
; been irritable all day from a job that went sour, and it's hard 
; to philosophize when you're in a bad mood.
; 
; Tomorrow is another day, however, and it will bring another 
; fractal.  It might even bring some babble, so check then to see. 
; Until next time, take care, and don't stare too long at any one 
; fractal.  They do strange things if they're stared at too 
; intensely for too long a time.
