Enumclaw’s Gallery 2011 will feature an accomplished wildlife photographer next month. Bob Schillereff has been photographing wildlife in their natural habitat for more than 25 years. “This has allowed me to witness some amazing things. Many of these times, I've been the only one to witness these events,” he says in a gallery news release. His photos have appeared in numerous books, calendars, magazines, catalogs, brochures and advertising. “It is my goal to share through my photography these special moments in time and to encourage others to discover the wonderful outdoors for themselves,” he says.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays except for Tuesdays because of municipal court proceedings. For more Information, call theEnumclaw Cultural Programs office at (360) 802-0239.
