In the colder North American climate, such as found in southern Quebec and Vermont, Mother Nature puts up an incredible display of colors in September and October. For many us landscape photographers, this 2-3 week period of fiery fall colors is the most productive, exciting and stimulating time of the year. This makes the arrival of November all the more difficult to accept: cold weather, gray skies, rain, snow, drab colors – probably the worst month for nature photography around here… In December, the cold weather arrives, and winter slowly settles, putting an icy grip over the regions.
At this time of year, many people imitate bears and head indoors to “hibernate” until the arrival of warmer spring weather. Nature photographers tend to spend more time in front of their computers, working on articles, preparing image submissions to Editors, while slowly packing on the pounds…

G’day Everyone,
Yesterday evening, January 10, 2010, Rob launched the reincarnation of our website, Sojourns In Nature. It’s the most comprehensive overhaul of the website since it’s inception over ten years ago. The front page and the fine art galleries now feature the music of my long-time friend, the noted Celtic musician and composer, William Jackson. We hope that you’ll take a few moments at the end of your busy day to relax and experience the new Sojourns In Nature web site and we invite you to leave your comments and let us know what you think of our new presentation.

Hey all,
Rob here, again. 
NatureScapes.net, the best nature photography resource web site and forum on the internet, has published an updated version of my Hand-Held Flash Macro Photography article, which was originally published on the Sojourns In Nature blog. This is quite an honor, and I wanted to share the good news with you.
See http://www.naturescapes.net/docs/index.php/category-photographic-technique/41-photographic-technique/381-rob-servranckx.
All the best,
Rob

Hey all – Rob here… Happy New Year!
I just wanted to let you know about my new web site, Visions In Nature. No need to worry, I’m still partnering with Gustav on Sojourns In Nature. Visions In Nature is just the place for me to share my own images and style.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the site. Here’s a screen shot of the home page:
Look for an overhaul of the Sojourns in Nature site in the coming weeks… I’ve spent most of my holiday break working on it. 
All the best for 2010,
Rob
