I had a heart attack Last week after having a wonderful, special dinner out with someone "Ipplywittrees" that my husband "Glenndog" and I met here on DA. way south of us. It was a great time...until we got back to and I met here on DA. We grew in friendship, and loved getting together with him as he passed through Batavia, Ohio on the way to a family gathering way south of us.He was so sweet and helpful.

Anyway...I have to rest ALOT , and am sorry for my poor leadership....wheich will only get a bit worse this summer as I have more surgery to fix the other side of my heart.

If you are someone who prays, pray for me. But I will take any good thoughts and words too!

Much Love from

your

I hope everyone entered while they had the chance. Lady Innac and Lady Wolfepaw and I will let the winners and runner-ups be known by June 27th. Hang in there and enjoy the summer sun!

This contest begins TODAY! You may submit FOUR fractals, but they must be created on four different software programs...your choice! The folder will close on JUNE 20, 2021. Prizes will include points, badges, bragging rights and a bit of showcasing too! I hope everyone will participate, because spirals can be so cool, beautiful, awesome, magnificent,...etc. I would

really hope to offer some of them to the Daily Deviation sponsors to look over too! (no guarantees).

Please include the name of your software program in the description.

Any questions? Just ask!!

I would first like to say that I am still finding ECLIPSE a sinister nuisance to navigate,

and don't know how LONG it will take me to do the simplest thing, such as adding

lovely fractals to this journal. If anyone out there knows the secret, I am humble

enough to beg, really beg...your teaching me in step by step instruction. What good is a

lovely journal, without lovely fractals? The only one I could figure out was the cover

fractal up top, from my own gallery. (Sorry, about that)

Next...please welcome innac as a new co-founder for our merry band of fractalysts,

by blessing her with a warm Hello on her profile page. She has already written a Journal

for us, but I am still trying to figure how to get it POSTED as a journal. She submitted it under the Apophysis folder because that is what it was about....

Now...I did figure out the above...so maybe I can say that is one in my score challenge card?

Which brings me to the second part of this journal. Apophysis is a free fractal software

and can be downloaded different places on the web and Deviant Art. For these final weeks of Summer, we will be running a contest similar to f--l--a--r--k's challenges. Below are starting parameters. You just have to change them enough to make it your own...name it...submit it

to the APO Challenge contest folder starting August 10, 2020. You may submit 2 entries.

Folder closes August 25, 2020.

1rst place 300 points

2nd place 200 points

3rd place 100 points

4 honorable mentions 50 pts each

Below are the starting params...

No matter what...MAKE YOUR ART!!! It doesn't matter where.

I don't know if anyone will even see this, because everything

is so different. I can't find any of my past journals, so

maybe I need to cultivate watchers from the get-go again.

Let's see what happens? Are you with me?
