Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Getting settled in a big new house is one thing.  Making it feel like home is another.  At the present time we are not even fully settled, much less feeling like we are in a familiar and comfortable home.  It looks like it will be longer than expected before things are totally back to a new kind of normal here at New Fractal Central.

Today's quickie is posted a day late.  I posted it just to let the world know I am still alive and fractally active.  The image is a scene in the fractal that results when Z^(-4.8) is subtracted from Z^(-1.7) and (1/Z) is added.  I used the passes=b for maximum speed.  Luckily, this option works accurately with this image.

As has been the case for several months, I gave the image neither name nor rating.

The weather today at New Fractal Central was cloudy and cool for the season, with occasional light showers.  There are currently no fractal cats to report on, but we will be visiting the local animal shelter within a week to choose two lucky cats to be the new fractal cats.  The next FOTD is due in a few days.  If all goes well, it will actually appear.  Until then, take care, and watch for falling fractals.
