Earth Day Google doodles over the years

Google's celebrating this year's Earth Day with an animated Google Doodle.

The logo starts off with plants that spell Google. As the animation rolls, flowers bloom adding more and more colour to the picture, capturing the splendor of Mother Earth in a simple, elegant series of pictures.

Google has marked every Earth Day since 2001 with a doodle. You can see their journey over the years - from the rather bare to the very elaborate.
