Almost as good as being there... April 4, 2008

The photography of this naturalist, Fred Whitehead, capture the four season beauty of Cumberland Island. I met this author, who led a tour of the island one April morning, and actually asked him whether the island had 'seasons.' He humbly answered,'yes', without mentioning his book, his photography, or his experience. An hour later I found this book in the gift shop of the inn, and my question was answered in detail. Few can experience a long stay on this island, but no nature lover should fail to visit this place and see a nearly undeveloped barrier island larger than Manhattan. This book is a true souvenir of my visit, and the tour led by the author.

A gorgeous reflection of what the island excels in. Mr. Whitehead's photographs beautifully depict the nature of and on the island. When I can't be there, I fantasize through this book.

I recently returned from a visit to Cumberland Island and I had already purchased and admired all of the photos in the book. When I returned from my trip I again looked at the book and it made the island come alive again in my mind. The photographer has captured the entire essence of Cumberland Island and brings it to life. The book gives a preview of all of the things the island has to offer: wildlife of every description and vegetation scenery that takes you back in geologic time before man set foot on the island. The photos in the book show the diverse creatures such as deer (including 2 white ones); alligators, racoons, wild turkeys, bobcats, birds, waterfowl, armadillos, pigs and wildhorses (not native to the island) etc. The diverse vegetation and wildlife is featured by seasons in the book. The photographer is a wildlife expert and also gives tours to the guests of the incredible and comfortable Greyfield Inn. Buy the book and then go see the island!
