; FOEFD -- August 30, 2004 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is named "Fractal Fowl-up.  The name does not 
; imply that I feel I made a big mistake in creating the image, 
; nor does it imply that my spelling skills need improvement.  It 
; refers instead to the chicken-scratchy filaments surrounding the 
; grossly-distorted midget at the center.  While I was studying 
; the image, searching for a name, these filaments reminded me of 
; the chicken scratches one might see on the ground in a chicken 
; coop. (Not having a chicken coop, I can only guess what the 
; ground inside one might look like, but my guess probably has at 
; least a small resemblance to reality.)
; 
; The parent fractal, which was created by the simple formula 
; Z^(2.1)+C, is a distorted Mandeloid with a smaller Mandeloid 
; lying in the chaos on the southwest edge of its main bay.  This 
; parent lies four levels up the multi-dimensional logarithmic 
; hyper-spiral.  Today's image is located in a tangled nest of 
; filaments just beyond the west end of the smaller Mandeloid.
; 
; Thanks to a little bit of extra coloring effort that I put into 
; the image, I was able to rate it at a 7.  When the fast render 
; time is considered, the overall value rates a quite impressive 
; 279.  And, as is always the case, the pre-rendered image may be 
; downloaded from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Mostly sunny, hot and humid weather prevailed all day Saturday 
; and Sunday here at Fractal Central.  With the temperature 
; hovering around 90F 32C, the fractal cats spent their outdoor 
; time catching up on their sleep.  They seemed happy enough.  
; Today however promises to bring rain by afternoon, so we'll have 
; to wait to see how the duo adjusts.
; 
; And I wonder how I'll adjust when I get the work caught up.  
; Only time will tell.  The next FOEFD will appear in one or two 
; days.  Until that wonderful moment arrives, take care, and even 
; skeptics are sometimes right.
