Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image is a dive into the image of February 11.  The apparently morphing minibrot at the center looks so like a swimming duck that I had no choice but to name it "Duck Pond".

This minibrot appears to be on the way to becoming an everyday quadratic one, but still has a way to go before passing official inspection.

The rating of a 7 appears boringly frequently, but with a normal bell curve distribution of fractal ratings, it is not surprising.

The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes will seem a bit slow for those pressed for time.  The web sites can eliminate any undue stress.

Lots of clouds and a temperature of 39F +4C made today a typical mid-February day in Central Pennsylvania.  The fractal cat, not at all a typical cat, passed the day watching the show passing by his lookout window.  The humans had a typical day of working, which is easy to report but very boring to read about.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, not sooner, but very possibly later.  Until that eagerly awaited moment arrives, whenever it may be, take care, and the earth's overpopulation problem may indeed be solved by technology.  With so many more people being born, the chance of a super genius being born who will invent the technology to solve the problem will continue to increase until the birth of the genius becomes inevitable.

(I guess God will have to send the genius, since no human being could solve our population problem.)
