Celebrating US National Parks Today’s Doodle celebrates the parks and monuments of the U.S. national parks on the occasion of the National Park Service centennial. Designated in 1916, the National Park Service has set aside over 84 million acres of protected land for everyone to explore and enjoy. Shelton Johnson, Park Ranger at Yosemite National Park and published author, shares his thoughts on this important milestone with us: “There are national parks older than Yellowstone, or Yosemite, but it was in Yosemite Valley where the national park idea was first lit. It was Yellowstone that fanned that spark to a flame illuminating a world that was old, but seen anew! No longer were rivers a force to be dammed, virgin forests a source for board-feet, or mountainsides blasted for gemstones or coal. A wild river was as alive as the fish within it. A forest became a network of plants bound to rock, soil, and sky. Now there are national parks in over 150 nations. The idea of parks has the powe...

Today, the sun sets on the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games. And just in time! Our competitors are plum-tuckered from slicing, dicing, rolling, and peeling. But what a highlight reel! Lemons dropped, Apples bobbed, Strawberries fielded, and the crowd left satisfied. “I’ve been attending the Fruit Games for two decades and I’ve never seen one this jam-packed!” attested Peach, a cobbler from Sauceton. “You could pretty much pick any fruit from the bunch for MVF.” Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow! But don’t let your melon-choly get the best of you. Take a look back at some of the most appealing moments of this year’s Fruit Games. Day 1 - Welcome to the Fruit Games Day 2 - Pineapple serves Day 3 - Grape hops along Day 4 - Lemon swims laps Day 5 - Orange goes putting Day 6 - Apple tosses goals Day 7 - Coconut catches air Day 8 - The running of the Fruit Day 9 - Orange bounces on the trampoline Day 10 - Watermelon feels the love Day 11 - Raspberry lifts weights Day 12 - Plum takes a dive Day 13 - Pea...

Today marks the 15th day of the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games! We’re journeying to an otherwise unassuming fruit stand in Rio where produce from all over the market competes for the title of freshest fruit.

The crowd falls silent as Durian takes the horse. “You either love ‘em or you can’t stand ‘em,” says one audience member. Popularity aside, this complex fruit brings some stiff competition, moving through the first half of the routine with savory swing. Tight turns and a steady tempo—this is definitely not Durian’s first rodeo. But is this king of fruits all it’s chalked up to be? Wait for it...woah! What a handle on that husk. Going, going, and Durian sticks the dismount without a thorn out of place. Ladies and gentlemen, this fruit just gave “in season” a whole new meaning. Ah, the sweet, st...

It's pits against seeds as Lychee takes its place across the volleyball net from Fig. The game is on, and it's clear that Fig will leaf no ball behind. Lychee turns briefly to jelly, but recovers quickly. Lychee spikes the ball, but Fig isn't pudding itself down for the count just yet. One more delicious volley and Fig is in quite the jam! In one of the freshest moves we've seen on the beach, Lychee tips the ball over the net once more. Fig is hung out to dry and Lychee savors Gold with this sweet success.

This may be the sweetest crossover the Fruit Games have ever seen. Pear's ball-handling skills stem from years of practice in a sunny corner of the orchard. The nearby buds would cheer from their trees as perfectly placed shots fell into the fruit basket. "I had big, juicy dreams back then," said Pear, "and now they're all blossoming!" Don't let the green ap-pear-ance fool you: Pear is ripe and ready to leaf it all on the court! Keep coming back for all the action from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!

And now, a report from the field covering Day 12 of the action… A strong wind has picked up near the diving pool but Plum won’t be pickled. Just look at that sweet form off the diving board! Plum floats back to the surface, steps out of the water...and immediately prunes up! Now that’s what I call fast-drying fiber. A tart ending for the Fruit Games vet, but one heck of a performance.

As we enter the arena today, we see Raspberry warming up for the weightlifting event. This little fruit is pure concentrate as the fans fall silent to watch it lift 10x its weight. Raspberry breathes in and blows out noisily through its mouth, in a signature noise recognized by fans everywhere as "The Raspberry." When we spoke to Raspberry earlier today, it had this to say: "It's all about the breathing to keep my legs from turning to jelly." With confidence like that, it's a sher-bet that it will be Gold for Raspberry this year! Keep coming back for all the action ...

The athletes have hit a fruitful stride on Day 10 of the competition, but today we’re kicking it over to the familial forces who hold it all together behind-the-stands. Bunches upon bunches of friend pods, budding seedlings and even entire family trees excitedly gather to root for their loved ones in the limelight. Fig, fig, hooray! Watermelon’s little sprouts do the wave while Coconut’s cousins go totally…nuts—“I wouldn’t be here without them,” waxes a choked-up Coconut, “My family is the apple of my eye.” Keep coming back for more from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!

Orange was born to bounce and is destined to squeeze out a win! Keep coming back for all the action from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!

Suddenly Strawberry dips from left to right, picking the sweet spots, easy as pie. And it's Strawberry for the victory — the pip of the pack!

We're juiced for today's featured event: BMX! Coconut's been a bit of an underfruit this year, but we expect it to get heated out there on those jumps. Watching this fruit shred the dunes, it’s clear that destiny has plucked Coconut from its tree and set it on a path to Fruit Games gold. According to friends and family, from the time Coconut was still green, everyone could see that this BMXer was intended for so much more than a fruit basket. “When I got on the bike, I never looked back. I could feel it deep under my husk. The wind in my hairs as I'm c...

If you’re just joining us, assorted fruit are making a splash in the water polo event, with rising star Apple leading the pack. Though Apple’s taken a fair share of bruises in the past, the team’s strategy in the water is looking exceptionally polished today. Here’s Apple swimming forward, gliding side to side, all the while moving up and down in the water -- it's the famous “bob” maneuver! Apple strikes. Grape flies past the startled defenders, banks off the right wall, and squishes softly against the back net. It’s good! Another crisp goal for Apple! Come back f...

Orange tees off sending Blueberry catapulting into the green. Hole-y moly what a putt. “Two can play this game, but only one can win it”—boasts ripe and ready Blueberry. And boy is this little one on a roll: tilting and turning with im-pickable precision. Hot jam! Blueberry lands the first ace of the game and the shrubs go wild. A stealth pivot past the threat of Watermelon's smash is certainly no skin off this fruit’s back. But can Blueberry stay the course? Or will the pressure to take home the win turn into a bogey filled performance? There’s only one way to fi...

Lemon dives straight in with goggles and game face ON. Starting strong with a masterful dodge of ice chunks and a sharp swerve around rubber duckies, this citrus is demonstrating some serious zest. Lemon peels ahead, lapping the lowest time…but oh no! Ice ahead at the 60m mark. Will it be a sour fate? No! A tongue-tingling twist in the plot and Lemon escapes the squeeze. Left stroke, right stroke, the old “under over”—What. A. Splash. The juicy secret to victory? “It’s all about that daily rind,” reveals record-smashing Lemon. Come back for the next couple weeks to ke...
