; FOTD -- June 27, 2005 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene in the Zexpe fractal, which is a simple 
; Mandeloid, named by Lee Skinner, with epsilon acting as the 
; exponent of Z.  To add a bit of interest I chose the fractal as 
; it exists at ground level of the hyperspiral, and zoomed in on a 
; valley.
; 
; In these irregular fractals, it is hard to tell at first glance 
; whether a valley is of an 'East' variety, a 'Seahorse' variety, 
; or some other variety.  The only way is to actually examine the 
; inner details of the valley.
; 
; The valley I chose in today's parent fractal proved to be of the 
; 'East' variety, with abandoned bits and pieces of elephants 
; strewn about.  I chose today's particular midget because of its 
; unusual 2-4-2-4 symmetry.
; 
; The name "Ground-Level Zexpe" refers to the location of the 
; parent fractal on the hyperspiral.  The rating of a 7 reflects 
; the surprise I felt on seeing such a symmetrical midget in a 
; fractal so far removed from integer value.  The render time of 5 
; minutes is within reason, but reason varies, and for the 
; convenience of those who find a 5-minute wait unreasonable, the 
; image has been or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; from where it may be conveniently downloaded.
; 
; Now I must investigate the new triternion formula.
; 
; The high temperature of 88F 31C was barely acceptable to the 
; fractal cats here at Fractal Central on Sunday.  They spent the 
; full afternoon in the holly thicket, but demanded extra tuna 
; when they came inside for the night.  Today is starting a bit 
; cooler and with much more clouds, but it is dry.  If it stays 
; dry, the duo should have a good day.  My day will turn good when 
; the work is behind me and the fractal for tomorrow is in the 
; bag.  Until the next FOTD appears in 24 hours, take care, and 
; great things lie just beneath the surface, but where is the 
; surface?
