Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

In the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid, curious near-rectangles are located along the X-axis just east of the large main-spike minibrot.  They exist in both the Mandelbrot and Julia aspects.  In the Z^(2.001) Mandeloid, the rectangles, now more like trapezoids, are located just east of the next minibrot out the main stem.  Today's image is located in this Z^(2.001) field of rectangles.

Even though rectangles abound in the general area, none appear in today's image.  Instead we have a kind of fractal tree.  I named the image "A New Tree" because I have never before seen anything quite like it.  The rating of a 6.5 is all I could do for the image, which could certainly use more coloring work.

The rating will not seem quite as mediocre however when the image calculates in only 2-1/2 minutes.

Heavy wind-blown clouds alternated with periods of brilliant sun here at Fractal Central today.  The fractal cats were frustrated by the intermittent sun.  Whenever the sun appeared, they leaped onto their window shelf in eager anticipation, but a few minutes later when the sun vanished, they jumped down disappointed.  After several disappointments they finally settled beside the hall radiator.  The temperature of 45F +7C and 20mph, 30kph wind brought an early hint of winter to the air.

FL and I had an active day.  The next FOTD is due to be be posted in 24 hours, but I think we'll be returning to Old Fractal Central for most of the day tomorrow, so don't be disappointed if the next FOTD is a day late.  Until whenever, take care, and work off excess energy with a fractal.
