Google’s homepage celebrates the vernal equinox today with a charming animated Google Doodle. In the piece, a thickly-outlined figure ushers in the spring foliage with his watering can. Google doesn’t provide credits for the Doodles, but we know that the piece was created by Eleanor Davis, who was featured as a Cartoon Brew Artist of the Day last May.

[Update]: Eleanor Davis also created today’s autumnal equinox doodle for Google users in the Southern hemisphere. View it on Google Brazil. Davis writes on Twitter that she animated the pieces in Photoshop. (Thanks, Francine)
