; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal takes us on to the 'tim's error' formula, a 
; formula that resulted when a coding error unintentionally 
; produced an unexpectedly good result.  The formula does not 
; really come to life until the parameters are changed from 0,0, 
; and the inside is set to an active fill.
; 
; To create today's image, I set the function to 'abs', the 
; parameters to 0.5,0.5, and the inside fill to 'bof61'.  The 
; book "Fractal Creations" tells that a pterodactyl is hiding 
; somewhere in the formula.  I found no prehistoric flying 
; reptile, but I did find a lovely garden.
; 
; This garden is growing fantastic flowers, which I have named 
; "Bluebells".  Yes, I know that they look more like tulips, but I 
; have decided that they are bluebells.  In addition to the 
; flowers, the image shows a gloriously blue sky, some grass 
; growing around the flower stems, some sandy garden soil, a 
; puddle of water left over from a recent watering, and even a few 
; tiny insects hovering in the grass.
; 
; Such a lovely garden scene surely deserves an above-average 
; rating.  I gave it a rating of 7.  The render time of 3-1/3 
; minutes raises this to an absolute worth of 206.  Those who do 
; not consider rendering fractals to be their cup of tea can find 
; the image already rendered on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; It stayed quite chilly here at Fractal Central all day Saturday, 
; but the sun was warm and the wind was light, giving the fractal 
; cats enough time in the yard to put them in a good mood.  Today 
; is starting sunny and a bit milder.  It looks like another good 
; day for the duo.
; 
; The day should be fairly good for me also.  There is only one 
; more escape-time formula to go before I decide what fractal 
; project comes next.  Until tomorrow, take care, and fractals are 
; as real as we want them to be.
