Nothing but Fantastic!

Gerry Cambridge knows Scotland intimately -- every nook and cranny, it would seem. His photographs of flora and fauna are lovingly taken, and reveal an intimacy with the subject. Whether the scales of a moth's wing, the tiny but fierce face of a wolf spider, or the simple beauty of fallen maple leaves, Cambridge's photos capture the coutryside of Scotland. Not to be outdone is his verse, which runs alongside the photos. Cambridge is a deft poet; his words form lush pictures of their own. Together, the poet and photographer has created a glimpse of natural Scotland that is a feast for the eyes, and for the ears when the poems are read aloud; his fine work is a must for anyone who loves poetry, nature, and Scotland.
