Welcome to my July feature! 
New Contest - OCEAN Theme!
It's almost time for a new contest!
Theme: OCEAN
Begins: 24th July
Ends: 31st August
Entries: 2 per member - must be submitted on 1st July, 2015 or later. We will accept fractals and fractal manipulations.
Please mention in the artist's comment that it's an entry for this contest. 
As always, the Admins will choose their favourite 10 and let you vote in a poll for the winners. We accidentally had 2 pieces by the same person in our last contest poll, but we will make sure to give everyone an equal chance, as we've always done before.
PRIZES:
1st place
100
from Fractal-Love, 100 from Contest-HQ
features by Fractal-Love, Unframed-Nature, DailyFractalFeatures, BrightAndCheerful and Contest-HQ
2nd place
50 from Fractal-Love, 50 from Contest-HQ
features by Fractal-Love, Unframed-Nature, DailyFractalFeatures, BrightAndCheerful and Contest-HQ
There will also be 2 honourable mentions which will receive features.
We hope to be able to offer even more prizes as the contest advances.
You're free to interpret the theme any way you like, as long as your work feels like oceanic!
You can focus on the scenery or the inhabitants, or make it an abstract, or focus on the colours that represent the theme.
And most importantly, please HAVE FUN!
June and July Birthdays 
We had just 1 June birthday, so I thought I'd feature the July ones as well... Almost gave up when I saw how many there are
but I'd rather do it now and catch up with the birthday features.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL!!

Otto has very kindly reinstated three deleted Klein formulas in om.ufm. So I recommend you all update your formulas so that you can play with any of the thirteen Klein formulas now available to you! I have updated the illustration below to show you what is now available.
In addition, I have added a link to the parameters for a key layer from one of my recent images if any of you needs something to start with. Please click on the last image shown below for this.

Thank You for Donating!!Edit(27 Sept. 2016): Thank you so much to all of our donors! We were very far from our goal of 4796
THANK YOU so much again, we wouldn't be here without all of you!
I know this is long overdue... I had every intention of writing a journal for our points account but I never got round to it, and now the Activity update I had posted last year is gone. So I'll have to start over, but at least this journal will stay here and I can update it. Let's go!
So far we've received more than 10000 points from our generous donors (any amount that we receive through the "Give points" button doesn't show up in the donation pool). I can't give a complete re-cap of the received donations and what we've used
I will see you all next month!
