Challenge # 24 - Spring Cleaning

"I'll polish the leaves
Make 'em green again,
Shake off the trees,
Change the scene again.
Spring cleaning,
Gettin' ready for love."
- Fats Waller's Spring Cleaning, as composed by Walter Samuels, Leonard Whitcup, Teddy Powell (1937)

Jason pointed out to me that this was the time of the vernal equinox (Mar. 20th), so that the challenge of Spring Cleaning seemed particularly appropriate. Hooray for almost equally long days and nights! If you're near the equator, this will be really obvious. And I hate you for being near the equator.

Anyway, take those two words and run with them! Maybe clean off your camera if you haven't submitted in a while, because of course only new photos are allowed.

NOTE: I believe Ann told me that the deadline is Wednesday, voting on Thursday, like the last time.

BONUS POINTS: bring the equinox to mind.
EXTRA BONUS POINTS: show the entire planet half-bathed in light and dark.

(remember, the bonus points don't matter, but if you get the Extra Bonus points, you'll probably win.)
