FOTD -- May 02, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image bears footprints, which is not surprising, since it lies in yesterday's parent fractal, very close to yesterday's scene. But these footprints were not made by bigfoots, they were made by aliens from outer space, which explains why they resemble the pea-pods of the body snatchers. The actual location is East Valley of the large minibrot on the main stem of the parent, where a tiny minibrot is located. Today's scene lies at the tip of the main spike of this minibrot. The name "Aliens Among Us" merely tells it like it is. For all anyone knows, the space aliens may very well be living among us, unrecognized and disguised as the man and woman next door. The rating of 7-1/2 is quite average. The extra half point is a reward for the coloring, which was more difficult than first appears. The calculation time of one minute will leave just enough time to go into the next room and pour a drink. Viewing the image on the web sites will avoid the drink. Be cheerful anyway!

The temperature of 73F 23C made it the second consecutive perfect day. Nicholas, the cat of the fractal variety made it through the day uneventfully, sleeping all afternoon in my favorite chair. The fractal humans made it through the day by working. The next in the inexhaustible series of FOTD fractals will be posted soon. Until whenever, take care, and everyone wants peace, but the evil other side will not let it happen, and this is true regardless of which side a particular person is on.
