; FOTD -- December 09, 2006 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Though the formula behind the image, Z^(0.947)+Z^(-0.947)+C, is 
; most arbitrary, today's fractal is different enough to earn it a 
; rating of 7.  The parent fractal appears as a smooth-edged egg-
; shaped oval with only a tiny bit of Mandel chaos on the western 
; edge.  The FOTD for today was found in the area where the chaos 
; merges into the smooth edge of the egg-shaped oval.
; 
; The image is composed partly of inside and partly of outside 
; stuff.  The outside parts have degenerated into little more than 
; a field of scattered dots, leaving most of the image made of 
; inside stuff.  But this inside stuff responds quite nicely to 
; the 'bof61' inside fill, which completes the image and reveals a 
; Mandelbrot midget at the center.
; 
; I have named the image "Spots Before the Eyes" because it is 
; composed mostly of spots of various shapes, sizes, and colors.  
; The calculation time of almost 12 minutes is a bit slow, but 
; still worth the effort.  And finally, if all else fails, the 
; image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A very cold day here at Fractal Central on Friday, with a temper-
; ature of 23F -5C and flurries of snow, went un-noticed by the 
; fractal cats, who passed the day sleeping and chasing each other 
; up and down the hallway.  My day was spent clearing away a few 
; small odd jobs that have been hanging around for several days.  
; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, give or take an hour or 
; two.  Until then, take care and expect the unexpected.
