* Subject - does it focus in a particular area or not

* Description

* High resolution - many images available today may be of low resolution

* License - Creative Commons, Public Domain, or specific attributions that may be required

* Safety - is this a site that is appropriate for students or may there be cause for concern

The post then splits the list into a variety of areas:
* Search Engines

* Large Crowdsourced Collections

* U.S. Government Collections

* Unique Collections, including

   -  Pixabay

   - and approximately 20 more sites

* Specific Subjects

* Clip Art

You will find many great images as you explore these collections.
