      FOTD -- March 12, 2007 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's brilliant but otherwise unexceptional image lies in the 
parent fractal that comes into being when equal portions of 
Z^(1.5) and Z^(3.5) are combined and C is added.

This parent fractal resembles a plump caterpillar crawling 
southward.  Today's image is located on the northwest shoreline 
of the main open area of its parent, which corresponds to the 
caterpillar's plump abdominal section.

Since the fractal is unexceptional, I gave it no name and no 
rating.  The brilliant colors can carry the humdrum image only 
so far.

The calculation time of 7-1/3 minutes is a bit on the slow side 
for an image of today's worth.  But instant relief is available 
on the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

where the completed image is or soon will be posted, ready for 
semi-awe-struck viewing.

A bright and slightly chilly day here at Fractal Central on 
Sunday brought the fractal cats to the window, where they 
enjoyed the sunlight for several hours.  The outside temperature 
of 48F 9C left the comfortably resting cats unconcerned.

My day was busy, but I have seen far worse days.  It still looks 
like the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours as scheduled.  Until 
then, take care, and be at ease among the countless horde of 
fractals.
