by twistedsifter

 

 

At the end of last year, the Sifter posted the Top 50 Pictures of the Day for 2011. It went on to become one of our most popular posts of the year. For 2012, we will be highlighting the top 25 ‘Pictures of the Day’ at the end of every quarter. By the end of the year we will then publish a mega Top 100 ‘Pictures of the Day’ post.

It’s hard to believe 2012 is already 1/4 of the way complete. Let’s look back at the most amazing featured images from the first three months of this year. Be sure to click the title or image to be taken to the individual post for more information.
