1.) Flickr: Flickr has a huge resource of Pictures. However, we need to be using images that are governed by the Creative Commons license that fits with what you intend to do. Creative Commons is a non-profit that offers an alternative to full copyright.

2.) Stock.Xchng: Stock.xchng has a database of some very good free images that you can use for your blog. Search for the images and check for the availability of the photo. You might need to take permission from the photographer for certain photos. Also, in order to download the photos, you will be required to register and login to the site.

3.) Free Graphics Centre: Free Graphics Centre was formed in 2008. Their goal is to provide the best quality stock photos, graphics, images and illustrations totally cost free. It lets you download any and all of the images on the site absolutely free of charge

Thanks Siddharth for your conment. Though, i too use Google Image for image searches, however the issue with it is the copyrights. The links mentioned above provide images under Creative Commons licensing model and therefore give a lot of liberty in terms of usage.

Cheers
