The White House has release 150 photos taken from January to March of this year. Most of these new pictures were not available for me to put in my monthly White House Photo Diary.
A lot of these new pictures are a little different from the normal pictures that are posted throughout the month in that they emphasized more of what is going on behind the scenes. I thought I'd go through and choose some of my favorites to share with you. If you want to see more please head over to The White House's Flickr page to see all 150 shots.

I know a lot of people don't have the time to check out the
White House's photostream at Flickr so I put together this diary at the end of each month for everyone.
If you see an image you really like I encourage you to click through using the links I've provided under each image and view that photo in a larger format (in cases where there are no links that is because the White House has not yet uploaded that image to Flickr). Also, you can order prints through Flickr or download full sized files to print at home if you'd like. I've printed quite a few over the years to hang in my office here at school.
Please feel free to add your favorite White House Photo Staff pictures in the comments that I missed and you'd like to share with everyone.
