; FOTD -- June 18, 2012 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandelbrot set rather 
; heavily infested with Z^(1.5) energies.  The infestation has 
; caused the main spike to be largely swallowed up into a higher 
; dimension and the large minibrot to squeeze down into a kind of 
; 'pac-man' shape.  Today's image is a Julia set of the blunt 
; valley that serves as pac-man's throat.
; 
; I named the image "Shield of the Woods" because of the forest of 
; trees that appears to surround the central shield.  The rating 
; of an 8 includes a half point coloring bonus, which might or 
; might not have been earned.
; 
; The tree-like features in today's image are quite common in the 
; Julia sets of certain types of valleys in Mandeloids of 
; fractional values.  For a brief time I considered subtracting a 
; point from the rating because of the familiarity of these 
; fractal trees, but then I decided the image was attractive 
; enough to honestly rate the 8.
; 
; There is no debate however about the calculation time.  At a 
; brief 40 seconds, the time will pass before impatience can even 
; be thought about.
; 
; See the finished image on the FOTD web site at:
;

; 
; An early morning shower ended by 9am but left heavy clouds 
; overhead for the rest of the day.  The clouds held the 
; temperature to a chilly 70F 21C and depressed the fractal cats, 
; who slept through a good part of the day, taking a break only to 
; explore the latest arrangement of their cubes.
; 
; The humans had a typical day, except for a minor squabble over a 
; negative political ad.  The next FOTD will be posted soon; 
; nothing more definite is promised.  Until whenever, take care, 
; and I'm still waiting for the candidates to explain why they 
; should be elected instead of why the other guys should not.
