I decided a long time ago to pay for the pics I use within my posts, social media, etc. Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor ... if not using my own photos.  Yes, it's a cost ... but I can sleep at night not worrying about issues arising.

Thx so much for shoutout and email.  Just trying to look out for you.  I was getting my hair done, so didn't get to read the attribution.  I figured better safe than sorry.

and, yes, there are some sites like that which I use as well - some paid, some royalty free.
