December global festivities mean family and holiday travel, and Google is marking the season with a new series of interactive Doodles about a family of birds traveling south.
Two penguins, a “pair of slippery-footed siblings” introduced with a set of seasonal candles, are “excited to spend time with their warm-weather relatives,” a toucan and a parrot, according to Google. The first installment in the December global festivities series, published today, shows the penguins making plans with their southern relatives and packing their bags for a tropical holiday inside their icy igloo.

The Doodle’s final panel includes a past photo of the reunited family, as well as a pile of wrapped gifts that hint at the series’ next installments — Dec. 25, Christmas Day, Dec. 31, New Year’s Eve, and finally, Jan. 1, New Year’s Day — that will pick up the penguins’ adventures as they travel to warmer climates to enjoy the December global festivities together.

Archive/Alkazi Collection of Photography 1 of 5 Homai Vyarawalla, India’s first female photojournalist, who died on Sunday, chronicled India’s independence with a spirit that was unmatched by the following generations, in part because of changes in India itself. “Her images of Jawaharlal Nehru addressing a jubilant crowd in Delhi, and of the body of Mohandas K. Gandhi being prepared for cremation, give a vivid sense of the mood of a nation whose self-image was cast in a romantic epic mold,” Holland Cotter wrote in The New York Times in a 1997 review of a show in Queens, New York, that featured Ms. Vyarawalla’s work. “Much has happened since — sectarian violence, economic upheaval, the extended medical emergency of AIDS — to eat away at that initial tragedy-shadowed optimism,” Mr. Cotter wro...
