; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- February 22, 2012 (Rating 7.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's FOTD image takes us into one of the disembodied elephant 
; trunks in yesterday's image, where I checked for minibrots.  The 
; search did not take long.  Within 5 minutes I located the 
; minibrot at the center of today's image.
; 
; This minibrot is unusually well-formed for one in a fractal with 
; an exponent of 1.5.  Actually the minibrot resembles the classic 
; Mandelbrot set far more closely than its parent fractal, which 
; is little more than a shapeless blob with a well-defined East 
; Valley on the X-axis.
; 
; I retained the rather pale basic color palette of yesterday's 
; image, tweaking the colors only when necessary to achieve more 
; smoothness.  (Some bands still show, since total smoothness is 
; impossible with only 256 colors.)
; 
; The rating of a 7-1/2 is high enough to make the 1-3/4 minute 
; calculation time worth the effort.  And as always, the finished 
; image is available on the web sites.
; 
; For the completed image, check the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The high-definition version is posted at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original FOTD web site with thousands of images may be 
; accessed at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; The day turned out unexpectedly pleasant here at Fractal 
; Central, with enough sun and a temperature of 57F 14C.  The 
; fractal cats took full advantage of the conditions, and spent 
; most all afternoon on their window shelf.  The humans had 
; another uneventful day, which is not nearly as boring as it 
; seems.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and sometimes I wonder whether the trouble with religion 
; is that so many people believe it or that too few believe it.
