Description

Ultrafractal 3.02 - finished in UF 4.01 Well "Fred's wife" blew pretty strong - cat-1 levels here around 75mph with some BIG gusts - but we made it thru ok. No damage, trees ok. It was stronger than I'd expected from all the weather news this week. We didn't board up the windows this time. It strengthened when it went offshore and swept up offshore of us. Had to go out in the middle of it and add a 3' stake and 1/2" rope to the NW of my favorite tree - a loquat - because I hadn't anticipated one of the directions the wind came from. Northwest. THAT was hairy! I just planned for the "front side" of the storm. We bought a big generator to power the house and I'd made a big, 30A, cable to plug it into the dryer outlet so we'd be able to flush toilets, run fans and fridge and occasionally heat shower water but the power never went out this time - COOL! I was worried I'd burn the house down - lol. I guess it's due to all the new power poles and wiring they had to put up last year. I feel so sad for all the Floridians to the south of us. We all really got suckered into this one - they kept saying it was going to wimp out a good bit because of the cold front and that's why, probably, so many stayed put. Pray the insurance companies live up to their contracts and they all get their homes back. Anyhow, here's another of my "brownies", hope y'all enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by! Rick :-?) ------------------------------------------------- EDIT 2/5/09: Whoa!

You are giving these brown hues a nice workout. Love the range of textures you incorperated here. Especially the large pixelated ones in contrast to all the curves. Intriguing design and marvelous execution. Glad to hear you faired the storm OK. Keep on fractalin' you UF master.

Stunning! I love the woven textures and the shapes! Y'all got a bit of wind and rain there, huh? Glad to hear you survived mainly unscathed.

Glad you and your family are safe and sound! I love the fact you called this a brownie image. It looks a little green to me (sorry). None the less this is fabulous looking. I really love the patterns that are in there. A lovely feast to the eyes!

Beautiful art ! .. Love the textures .. the light the composition ! Just Fabulous !! Glad you got through Wilma allright .. we did too (Live in Florida) - but lost power for a couple of days.. trees lost all leaves and a lot of limbs even the fresh ones - so we were actually some of the lucky ones - getting power back so fast .. and that it was only the trees that anything happened to ! .. It was a cat. 3 here ... the strongest I have been through so far !! hugss zoozee :) V
