After talking about eagles yesterday and mimicking parrot plumage last week, I decided to stick with a feathery theme for this week’s fractal. To color this layered fractal set, I pulled the hues from the tail of a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and a few shades from a cloudy sky. Then, I wove them together to create this:
A Fractal Dreamcatcher
I must confess, I think I’m coming down with a cold, so I’m going to leave this fractal as it is, without any explanation. Instead, I’m about to curl up on the couch and try to catch a few dreams of my own.

Note from your fractalist: Sorry, folks, this one is a day late. I discovered early yesterday that my old website had been hacked. It has been fixed, now, although I plan to eventually remove everything from there, and repost it here somewhere.
After questioning how easily we might create useful models of our environment the other day, I started to wonder if I could even mimic our planet with a fractal.
Today, you can create your own fractal. (Don't worry, I'll still include one of my artistic fractals at the end of this post.) You don't need to download any programs, or learn any new techniques.
Something about climate change makes people want to argue. Take Greenland, for instance.
Thanks for the comment Steve. I actually wrote in a comment here a few weeks ago asking what was happening with this blog after the announcement that O'Reilly was dropping the Digital Media division. It's really refreshing to get an honest comment on what's happening. I really hope the blog picks up again.
