Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I'll have to keep the discussion short for the next few days, since I'm still a bit worn out, and the real work (fractaling is fun, not work) has backed up during the week I was away. After a week of roaming the rugged rock-bound coast of Maine, I arrived back just before noon today, exhausted but ready to go fractaling. A short 15-minute search produced today's fractal, which exists in a parent fractal that lies midway between parent fractals 1 and 2. It's a rather somber gray-blue midget, not spectacular, yet pleasant and soothing to look at -- a midget with four antennae -- just what I needed to relax me after a 600-mile trip. I named the average-quality 5-rated picture "Beings of Fractals" for no reason I can give. The name came into my head as I searched for acceptable colors. The parameter file is just slow enough to make a download the method of choice to view the image. That download may be found on usenet at: The fractal weather today was mostly cloudy, with a temperature of 81F (27C). The conditions were ideal for the fractal cats, but they seemed more intent on watching me to see that I had listened to the scolding they gave me when I returned and had no intention of running off and leaving them again. The philosophy flourished in the spectacular ocean-side environment, though it will take a few days to organize the 11 pages of scattered notes. For now, I'm going to call it a day and organize a restful evening. Until tomorrow, take care, and if one fractal appears, can another be far behind? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
