The snow has not lasted long at La Julia, but that does not mean Dr J can work on his dark tan. Last night another storm has arrived bringing some of the biggest rain drops Dr. J has ever seen. Not only are they big, but they seem to come down in an highly organized pattern. Like an attacking army! Figure 1. As the storm progressed, however, the rain seemed to be everywhere in disarray, Figure 2. It would be over by morning. Perhaps if it dries quickly, Dr. could watch FractoGolf at La Julia later today.
And with all the snow in the higher iteration areas, maybe he might take a skiing vacation.

We usually consider the iterations of z := zn + c as very interesting when n = 2, 3 or even 4 or 5. But some may get bored with the nearly circular pattern that higher values of n yield. It is in the edges of these circles that tonights images are found. They are found by zooming into two regions of the z := z1000 + c variation of the Mandelbrot set.
Stay dry,
Jay
