; FOTD -- May 02, 2011 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is named "Circle of Ducks".  The eight open holes 
; around the central minibrot bear enough resemblance to ducks 
; with their heads pointed away to justify the name.
; 
; The parent fractal came about when I loaded the MandAutoCritInZ 
; formula and checked to see what would happen when 0.1 part of 
; Z^10 is combined with Z^1.5 and straight C is added.  What 
; happened was a ragged cut off Mandeloid facing east, with its 
; main stem twisted into a hook and a small peanut-shaped hole 
; lying on the hook.  Today's image lies in the east valley of 
; this peanut hole.
; 
; As it first appeared, the image fell flat, but a re-rendering 
; with the outside set to 'tdis' gave it enough life to rate a 7.  
; (And remember that we are now back on the old familiar rating 
; scale.)
; 
; The calculation time of a little over one minute will cause no 
; one any time stress.  To avoid even the thought of stress, the 
; finished image may be viewed in its full glory at the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; and in high definition at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original FOTD web site may still be accessed at:
; 
;       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Sunday dawned with hazy sun here at Fractal Central.  By midday 
; however heavy clouds arrived, and by 3pm light rain began, 
; making an overall unpleasant day.  The fractal cats slept 
; through most of the day, though they did rise to window action 
; when Cassie sensed an intruding cat walking past.
; 
; The day of the humans was close enough to average to be consid-
; ered uneventful.  And most likely, Monday will bring more of the 
; same.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, 
; take care, and before one can be at peace with others, he must 
; be at peace with himself.
