; FOTD -- February 23, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's curious scene lies in the parent fractal that results 
; when the expression (-Z)^(2.5)+C is iterated.  This parent 
; resembles a M-set that is splitting apart on both its east and 
; west sides.  Today's image lies deep in an elephant star in the 
; East Valley area of the large minibrot on the northernmost of 
; the two main filaments, which explains the name "Elephant Star".
; 
; The art rating of a 6 might be conservative.  FL says the image 
; should be rated a 7.  I disagree.  The math rating of a 5 
; however is right on the mark.  Iterating negative Z, which is 
; the only math trick, is over 20 years old.
; 
; The calculation time remains a problem.  7-3/4 minutes is 
; admittedly quite a lot to pay for an image that rates only 
; average numbers.  But here is where the web sites bring relief.
; 
; Considerable time may be saved by checking the finished image on 
; the FOTD web sites at:

; 
; Today brought a mix of sun and clouds to Fractal Central, with a 
; high temperature of 52F 11C.  With the piles of ice rapidly 
; shrinking, it actually seemed a little like spring.  The fractal 
; cats passed the day sleeping, while the fractal humans survived 
; the disappointment of finding that one of the local antique 
; malls had burned down since their last visit.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready and the time is 
; right.  Until whenever, take care, and how many cats does it 
; take to empty a full feed dish?
