Pick of the week :: March 1-7 :: Google Doodle
Monday, 8 March, 2010 – 11:35 am | No Comment

Pick of the week for March 1-7 goes to the google doodle that was posted on March 4th celebrating music composter Antonio Vivaldi’s Birthday! I absolutely love the google doodles and look forward to when they post new ones! This one has joined my list of favourites!

The google doodle featured 4 violins in the style of each of the 4 seasons – drawing to what Vivaldi was most well known for – his violin concert series called the Four Seasons. You can read more about Antonio Vivaldi at Wikipedia.
