; FOTD -- September 26, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fourth venture into the world of the square root of 2 
; did not turn out as well as I had hoped.  I could give the image 
; a rating no higher than a 5.  But a rating of a 5 is average, 
; and an average fractal is always worth a look.  I will search 
; the +4321 parent fractal one more time before moving on to other 
; levels.  I am still confident that it holds some better scenes 
; than the two I have found so far.
; 
; Today's scene lies in a 5-pointed star near the tip of a 
; filament extending from the third largest bud of the main bay of 
; the parent, which is located on the eastern shoreline.  The 
; overly gaudy coloring makes the image look more like a wild 
; carnival decoration than a dignified fractal, but the render 
; time of 3 minutes is brief enough to keep computer time and 
; inconvenience to a minimum.
; 
; The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Lots of clouds and a temperature of 77F 25C kept the cats 
; contented on Sunday here at Fractal Central.  Today is starting 
; cloudy with showers in the forecast.  But no rain has fallen 
; yet, so maybe things will turn out not so bad for the duo.  For 
; me the work is average.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and why is it that we never know what 
; Nostradamus predicted until after the event happens.
