; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Moving onward from yesterday's 'sqr(1/fn)' formula, we reach the 
; 'sqr(fn)' formula, which is a slightly altered version of the 
; first formula.  Actually, both formulas seem a bit redundant.  A 
; formula such as 'sqr(fn(fn))' would have done everything both 
; formulas do, and far more.  But the 'sqr(fn)' formula is there, 
; it is an escape-time formula, and it does create fractals.
; 
; Like yesterday's formula, the only variable is the function.  
; The heavy exploring must be done by tweaking things such as the 
; inside and outside coloring options and the bailout radius.  For 
; today's image I set the function to tangent, the inside to 
; 'bof61', the outside to 'imag', and the bailout to a very large 
; 10000.  The result is an oversized fractal filled with things 
; that remind me of butterflies.  But they are not exactly 
; butterflies, so I thought of them as 'flutterbys' and named the 
; image "Flutterby Fractal".
; 
; As its name would imply, the image features a large butterfly-
; like feature that fills the frame.  To intensify the effect of 
; butterfly wings, the background colors have been reduced to 
; pastel shades, and the edges of the wings colored a brilliant 
; yellow.
; 
; When all this is done, the resulting image is average.  Like all 
; average images, it rates an average 5.  The fast render time of 
; 53 seconds gives the image an overall worth of 566.  And as 
; always, those who do not render can find the image finished and 
; waiting on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; But before going there, give Paul a chance to post the image 
; file.
; 
; Thursday was a far more pleasant day here at Fractal Central.  
; The warm sun and temperature of 50F 10C were just what the duo 
; wanted.  And the wind, which calmed to a mere 10mph 16kph, made 
; it all the more pleasant.  The duo spent over three midday hours 
; in the yard, doing little but sitting still, watching the world 
; go by.  Today is starting much the same.  I expect to have happy 
; cats when the day ends.
; 
; Work is waiting, so I had best get busy.  Until next time and 
; next fractal, take care, and win with a top fractal.
