Look closely and you will find the hundreds of bird species who call Puget Sound home.

Nature photographer Michele Burton's exquisite, limited edition photographic explorations of light and nature will place the intimate details and the kaleidoscopic patterns of nature into your hands. Michele, an avid avian photographer, has been exploring the outdoors through her lens for the past decade. She will be sharing inspirational and technical details of her work.

Woodland and Wetland: Puget Sound Birds is a collection of more than 60 photographs showcasing the amazing variety of birds inhabiting the Puget Sound. On the surface, the Puget Sound region of Washington State is a thriving metropolis — home to millions of people. Beneath the bustle of human activity lies a hum of another sort. Look closely and you will find the hundreds of bird species who call Puget Sound home. Michele A. Burton gives a glimpse into this world — sharing photographs from Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum and other areas in the Puget Sound Region.

The Wild Within is a stunning book of photographs documenting the rich diversity of wildlife and flora in the wetlands of Seattle's Arboretum. Created to raise awareness about the unique beauty of this urban wilderness, The Wild Within features more than 120 full-color images of wetland birds, animals, and scenery by local photographers, including principal photographer Michele Burton. The photos are accompanied by essays from friends of the wetlands, including former Governor Dan Evans and Dale Chihuly. All proceeds from sales of The Wild Within go to Arboretum Foundation.
