Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Moving day is drawing close, and much remains to be done.  As a result, today's FOTD will be the last until seven days from now, on Friday, May 19.

Today's super quickie image takes us to the tip of a filament extending northwest from the large midget on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set.

The image was rendered with the 'outside' set to'real'.

Cloudy damp weather with occasional rain kept the fractal cats confined to the porch on Thursday here at Old Fractal Central.  Packing about 1500 old vinyl LP records kept me busy.  You'd be surprised how heavy those things are when they fill a carton.  The next FOTD will not appear before May 18, six days from now.  And there is no absolute guarantee that it will appear then.

Until next FOTD, take care, and it's all relative.
