      Both creativecommons.org and pexels.com are good for nice pictures. But, I think creativecommons.org requires your registration with them.

   I don't know if this is reliable, but Qwant (the search engine) lists images that have been designated commercially free to use.  It's Qwant.com, popular in Europe, they say.  Google had (had?) something similar too.  I still list the source.  Also, any US government site and wikia are all royalty free, etc.

      A lot of the images on Wikimedia/Wikipedia are Creative Commons, not public domain - which means you need to credit the photographer. Make sure you follow the instructions next to the photo.

   You can go to Google and click on images and search by keyword.  You can filter your search results to photos you can "share, even commercially" by going to Settings, clicking on advanced search, and resetting the license.   You can click on the photo to get the credit, license info, and a link to the original page.  Another option is to go to Wikimedia Commons.

   It is my understanding that you now always need to credit the photographer and provide a link to the original source on HubPages these days.

   Flickr is another option, but you need to always check if it is available and make sure to credit the source.  Another publisher I used to work work required that the user name of the photographer as well as Flickr should be included in credit.

    If you look at Flickr's rules, crediting the photographer is a requirement
