As I have recounted in my prior rendering, “Moonlight Magic”, I was once awarded an NSF (National Science Foundation) research grant to study fractal analogs in pristine ecosystems of the Montana wilderness. One morning, just at the break of dawn, I was awakened in my sleeping bag by a tickling sensation on my nose. Naturally, in such an environment, one grows accustomed to numerous critters that do not abide in accordance to civilized visitation courtesies. So the very first rule is that if you are awakened by something do not, absolutely DO NOT make any sudden moves until you find out whom has come to pay their respects. Spiders of all sorts have no respect for personal space and snakes (usually harmless) like you because you are warm and cozy. So with a pulse rate in the high hundreds, I very slowly opened my eyes. There, perched on the end of my nose was an absolutely gorgeous incandescently colored jeweled dragonfly. It was staring directly, straight on into my eyes, not more than an inch away. It was a big one too, with a head about the size of a marble. One very seldom sees these beautiful creatures in stationary mode. Usually, they are dashing frenetically about in search of food. Yet here it stood, occasionally fanning its wings, which is what had awakened me. What an immense gulf, I thought, separated we two creatures from one another. Eyeball to eyeball, 300 million years, and one inch. I knew that at the very slightest movement from me it would vanish into the dawn so, remaining absolutely still, I intently studied my guest. Everything about it was fractal. The immense, brilliantly blue, compound eyes were Sierpinski spheres. Iridescent Julia-like designs adorned the center of the head. The wings were delicate 4D mesh structures. This fellow, although large by present day standards was a small fry compared to his ancestors. Dragonflies are related to the genus Meganeura, extinct insects from the Carboniferous period (approximately 300 million years ago). They had wingspans of more than 75 cm (2.5 ft). This may seem hard to believe, but I have seen the fossils (you can too, if you type “dragonfly fossils” into Google Images). The magical spell was broken when the tickling on my nose began to bring on an unstoppable sneeze (you know what that is like). ah…Ah…AH…CHOO! Poof! Gone! Created in Ultra Fractal. Every component of this image consists of 4D images (bulbs, quaternions, etc.).
