; FOTD -- December 07, 2009 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The parent of today's image arose when I calculated the formula 
; Z^(1.8)+C at a level of 27.5 turns up the logarithmic hyper-
; spiral.  This parent is shaped somewhat like an ant taking a bow 
; toward the southwest.  The ant has a drop of . . . let's call it 
; honeydew . . . clinging to its tail end.  Today's scene is 
; located in a valley in this drop of honeydew, which of course is 
; actually a rather large minibrot.
; 
; I named the image "Caught in the Act", leaving it to the viewer 
; to decide the exact nature of 'the act'.  And then I rated the 
; whole thing at a rating of a perfectly average 5.  There have 
; simply been too many similar images in the past to rate today's 
; any higher.
; 
; The calculation time of under 5 minutes could bring stress to 
; fractalists with restless legs, so to avoid 'R.L.S.' I suggest 
; surfing out to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and enjoying the effortless fractal pleasures there.
; 
; The sunny weather here at Fractal Central on Sunday was spoiled 
; by brisk winds and a temperature that never rose above 34F 1C.  
; The fractal cats ignored the outside conditions and concentrated 
; instead on finding good sleeping places.
; 
; My day was average.  The next FOTD, hopefully well above the 
; average, will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and 
; if one continues devouring the mass media, they might eventually 
; learn something.
