Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's minor effort came about when I combined Z^sqrt(2) with Z^(epsilon) before adding C.  The resulting fractal is a fairly interesting double-lobed thing with lots of interesting nooks and crannies to explore.  I found today's scene very near the X-axis of this parent fractal.

A random strike of the 'enter' key supplied the colors.  This was so little work that I did not feel justified in naming or rating the image.

Unexpected sun and warm temperatures gave the fractal cats a pleasant day in the yard here at O.F.C. on Tuesday.  Tippy got so comfortable in his lawn chair that he needed to be coaxed in. My day was both busy and frustrating, but somehow I got through it.  The next FOTD is due in 24 hours.  I'll give 10-to-1 odds that it actually appears.  Until next FOTD, take care, and keep your fractal books balanced.
