; FOTD -- September 23, 2004 (Rating 4)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The most recent FOTD image featured fractal limes, so why not 
; fractal oranges?  Today's image does in fact feature oranges -- 
; eight of them in a circle around the central midget.
; 
; The formula is basically a whimsical frolic with the number pi.  
; The parent fractal is a very distorted oversized Mandeloid with 
; an immense area of chaos lying to its north and west.  Today's 
; scene is located in a small cut-off patch of chaos inland from 
; a bud on the southern shore of the Mandeloid.
; 
; I named the image "Circled by Oranges" after the ring of orange 
; circles surrounding the central midget.  I rated it at only a 4 
; because, like its predecessor, the image contains few memorable 
; features that I could find.
; 
; On the worn-out P200 computer the image renders in 2-1/4 
; minutes.  On the new P3200 unit, it renders in 17 seconds 
; -- almost exactly 1/8 the time.  The completed image may be 
; downloaded from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Absolutely perfect weather (clear skies and a temperature of 
; 84F 29C) on Tuesday and Wednesday made for absolutely perfect 
; fractal cats.  Feeling his third or fourth kittenhood, and 
; encouraged by the great weather, Tippy broke the monotony by 
; leaping for a low flying sparrow; but alas, Tippy has lost his 
; speed, and his leap fell several inches short.  The bird flew by 
; in no danger.  Thomas watched the activity with amusement.
; 
; As for myself, I am nearing the end of the work backlog, with 
; only a small pile of unfinished stuff waiting for completion.  I 
; might have it all caught up by the time the next FOTD appears on 
; Sep 25 . . . or I might not.  Until then, take care, and try to 
; keep your fractal enthusiasm under control.
