Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Fishtank in Neon
The ability of lasers to focus light with intense power at very precise areas makes them excellent tools for cutting, welding and even performing surgery on human beings.

@ Surreal Swirls
Despite some lasers being hotter than the surface of the sun, they can be used to cool atoms when combined with a magnetic field.

@ Neon Tube Installation
The strength of early lasers was measured in “gillettes”, which are the number of razor blades a beam is capable of breaking through.

Futuristic Sunrise in Pink and Purple
It's like living in a computer-generated world where the sun when it rises is dusky pink and the ground is a grid of neon purple lines, which stretches out endlessly towards the horizon.

@ Futuristic Sunrise in Pink and Purple
Lasers have been used in a wide range of consumer technologies such as optical disk drives, barcode scanners, fibre optics, manufacturing computer chips and as lighting displays for entertainment.

@ Neon Rain
The light from a laser is monochromatic; it consists of only one wavelength (colour). Laser light is also coherent, which means all the light coming out is in one direction and the rays are parallel to each other and are in phase. In comparison, a torch gives off light that spreads in all directions and consists of different colors.

A tiny laser beam can etch a serial number onto a diamond, the hardest natural substance known to humans.

Abstract Geometric Grid Picture
Is it a disco floor? Or the scene of an interactive futuristic game, with its neon lines, abstract sun in pink and blue, and the geometric palm trees lining the path with spiky mountains in the background?

@ Abstract Geometric Grid Picture
Lasers have featured in many films and popular culture as their use has become more widespread. One of the first, and most famous, examples was in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger where the eponymous spy was threatened with being cut in half by one.

@ Neon Spin
Green (diode) laser pointers are actually infrared lasers which then pass through a frequency doubler which does exactly what it says on the tin: it doubles the frequency of the infrared radiation, turning it into green light.

@ Flowers Lit in Neon
The first laser was actually a MASER. A MASER, which stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is essentially like a laser but light given off isn't visible light -- instead it's microwave radiation. The first maser was discovered by Townes, Basov and Prochorov who won the Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1964. The first maser was built at Columbia University.

@ Jazzy Piano Motif
"Oh, Alice! You know that dark grey you see as soon as you turn off the lights—just before complete darkness takes over or your eyes adjust to the lack of light?" asked Bear.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as 'Eigengrau'. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"

@ Luminous Green Fibre Optics
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a painting in neon," Kerrigan said, offering Alice a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Kerrigan!" said Alice. "Have you got bright enough colours?"
