It took forever to find a suitable gradient for this one! The swan seems to like the final choice – although with swans, it can be hard to tell exactly what they are feeling.

Today’s Gratitude Item: Getting to $199.00 this month on Shutterstock. Its not my “best month ever” but considering the traditional post Christmas lull in sales, its not bad. The big question is if it will reach $200.00 before 2009 officially arrives in the States (where the SS servers are located).

Edit: I made it!! That’s a good end to the year. Here’s hoping that 2009 will be even better.
