Richard Lenson

Richard Lenson is a Harvard graduate and a retired orthopedic surgeon who loved treating his patients. Once retired, he turned to the hobby of creating and nurturing bonsai trees, fertilizing the roots, and placing the plants in the sun where the solar receptors (we call leaves) absorb the energy of the sun. In addition, he enjoys being challenged by the piano and enjoys life with his lovely wife and Frida, his Tibetan Terrier.

Statement

My iPhone 15 Pro Max is my current go-to camera. Why? It is almost always in my pocket. And the images are edited either on the phone or my Apple computer. I love taking photos of nature; this includes rivers, mountains, sun-light variations, clouds, rare wild animals, people, and the night-time sky. And playing with natures images on my computer, they can appear more abstract. The photos submitted reflect the winter mustard bloom. These vineyard images are surrounded by the light-yellow mustard leaves that dance, gently in the wind of the newly growing grass. The vineyards appear like circuits of living wood plumbing features that connect the deep roots in Mother Earth, providing nourishment to the growing vines as they are solar powered. What is this magic formula? It is a mixture of weather and sun and water and soil and natures fertilizers. *

*Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue- and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.(https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/photosynthesis/#)
