Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's rather un-glorious fractal is the Julia set of what appears to be the Seahorse Valley area of the Z^(sqrt(2))+C Mandeloid as it appears at level minus-PI of the logarithmic spiral.

The details of the fractal are of a Seahorse Valley nature, with the expected thick bulky spiral arms, but the overall shape is totally different.

After careful consideration, I rated the image at a 6.  After a little more consideration I decided not to name it.

On Sunday the fractal cats' outdoor time was limited once again by the chilly winds here at Old Fractal Central.  Luckily, the evening tuna treat eased their displeasure.

I actually managed to do almost nothing of value all day, which is the proper way to live at least a small part of one's life.  The next FOTD is due in 24 hours.  It might appear; it might not.  Check back here in 24 hours to find out.
