; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I named today's image "A Fractal Event".  Every fractal is an 
; event.  It is not a very great event however, because I could 
; rate it at only a 4.  The image is actually a scene in the 
; Z^2.01+C Mandeloid, 150 levels up the logarithmic spiral, 
; rendered with the outside set to 'fmod' and the proximity set 
; to 0.006.
; 
; At this level of the spiral, the M-set has rotated until the 
; eastern shoreline of the large southern bud lies on the negative 
; real axis.  Today's scene is located in the confusion near the 
; big break.
; 
; I think it is the overly-brilliant Renoir-like coloring that 
; holds down the rating.  Otherwise it is a rather unconventional 
; image that somewhat reminds me of a planetary nebula surrounding 
; an evaporating star.  The bits and pieces scattered throughout 
; the scene could easily be taken as interstellar debris.
; 
; Strangely enough, the pattern around the midget appears 
; perfectly symmetrical, even though the exponent of Z is 
; fractional.  
; 
; The render time of 7 minutes and the rating of 4 combine to give 
; an overall value of 56.  The job of rendering can be avoided by 
; downloading the completed image from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Though the sky remained cloudy all day Sunday here at Fractal 
; Central, and the temperature never rose above 68F 20C, the cats 
; managed nearly two hours in the yard, doing what aging cats do 
; best -- sleeping in the brush.  They did perk up briefly when a 
; mockingbird started scolding them, but the bird soon returned to 
; its nest and the duo returned to sleep.  When the day ended, 
; they came indoors without urging.  Today is starting partly 
; cloudy and warmer.  It looks like a better day for the duo.
; 
; Today will be good enough for me if I can finish the day's work 
; by sometime early this afternoon.  But to finish I must first 
; start.  Until tomorrow's FOTD, take care, and see you then.
