Hello!  I'm Rich Wisler, the photographer for Rich Wisler Photography.  My home is

in Kirkland Washington, USA.  Kirkland is on the east side of Lake Washington and

just a few miles from Seattle.  This photo was taken in Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland

where I do much of my wildlife photography.  This preserved wetland and wildlife

area is a rich resource for photographers and those who enjoy observing wildlife in

their natural environment.

Kirkland has been my home since 1987.  Prior to that, I lived in Eugene Oregon for

ten years.  I was born and raised in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  Pottstown was best

known for Kiwi Shoe Polish,  Mrs. Smith Pies, and Bethlehem Steel.

My interest in wildlife and nature photography has grown as I spend more time

developing the skills  needed in this special area.  Photographing wildlife gives me a

great reason to spend time outside and enjoy creation.  Scenic or landscape

photography is another are of interest and provides more opportunity to enjoy this

hobby.

Using my photographs, I have developed several presentations that display the

wonders of God's creation by looking at the fifth day of creation through

photography.  These presentations examine feathers, flying, nesting and other

unique characteristics of birds and water fowl.  All presentations include slide shows

and interesting facts about these wildlife.
