Don't Copy Any Images from Google - It will have Copy rights attached
Well, we don't want to get on the wrong side of the law in terms of copyright infringement?
Copying work from any source has it's warnings, and even if you were 100% innocent, there is no leeway, when you are liable with a court judgment hanging over your head.
Stock Photography can be expensive, especially if you are writing mountains of blogs to get a good following and decent ranking.

These guys are pretty cheap $2.50 for the smallest image dimensions (Credit to Beverley (BIS) for mentioning this in one of her Blogs)
Always purchase the image that has the bigger dimension than what you need.
Sometimes the smallest is fine but if you need a bigger image for a slider then make sure you purchase the correct dimensions (resolutions). You can always scale an image size down without distorting the pixel ratio should the image be too big. If your image size is too small and you try increase the size, your pixel ratio will be distorted and the image will become blurred.
