Friday Fractal XXVII

i-86a2cbacd0aedc9ec8a84fe320ca935d-ifwhole.jpgBe it winter or spring, I can find fractals growing all around me. Patterns which seem defiantly simple emerge with branching, crystalline beauty. This week's fractal is a Julia set, transformed with inverse circles, then painted with the colors of a winter's day:

Ice crystals growing on a branch of coyote willow (Salix exigua Nutt.) bush

...which somewhat resemble the flowers (catkins, in this case) of the plant in the spring:
