After a little research I found out that there were sites with free usable pictures, free even without attribution. The first site I got many pictures from was Pippalunacy. They require no attribution, payment, or link back. They do appreciate any of those things but do not require it. Click here and you can see their licensing information.
Here is a picture I found from Pippalunacy of some lovely fall pear tree leaves. All you do to get the picture is download, click and drag. Of course you can modify it, and sometimes I do. I have a MacBook Pro and use the download picture preview window to modify the image. I don't have any special programs, just what my 5-year-old computer came with. Below you'll see a modified image of the same picture.
I rarely visit Pippalunacy these days, but maybe I ought to. If I'm not snapping my own pictures for a recipe or craft, I typically head over to Pixabay. This site has pretty much the same rules as Pippalunacy but there are far more pictures to choose from. Here is a picture of a nice fall image from Pixabay.
And here is a modified version of it with a link back to the original page. It's really easy to make a few personal touches to make an image your own. And with this free site, it's allowed!

I would highly recommend these two sites if you need pictures for your blog. Thank you Pippalunacy and Pixabay for this wonderful service! When I started using pictures I thought it was too good to be true. But it's not!
