; FOTD -- May 31, 2007 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I never give up searching for a great midget in a Mandeloid 
; fractal with an exponent of Z between 1 and 2.  The search 
; continues in today's image, which lies in the Z^(1.5)+C 
; Mandeloid as it appears 55 levels down the logarithmic ladder.
; 
; The midget at the center is a bit too gaudy for a rating higher 
; than a 5.  I named the image "Still Searching" because I am 
; still searching for that elusive spectacular scene in a Mandel-
; oid of the order 1.n.  I will continue searching indefinitely, 
; for I will not fail until I stop searching.
; 
; Today's image calculates in 7 minutes on the fast machine.  On 
; the slow machine it would take around 1/2 hour to finish.  So 
; why not forget the burdensome task of calculation and view the 
; finished image on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Another perfect day went un-appreciated here at Fractal Central 
; on Wednesday.  There have simply been too many perfect days 
; during the past month.  At least today's fractal has enough 
; imperfections to avoid boredom.
; 
; Speaking of fractals, the next one, the first for the month of 
; June, will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and who 
; knows where fractals end.
