Online collection of public domain still photographs from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Need a copyright-free picture of a whale, sunset or flower? Part of the USFWS's digital media library.

Nice pictures, but the most godawful navigation system.
Tiny sideways white writing? No thanks.

i think your comment goes with the posting previous to this one. But, placement aside, i agree wholeheartedly with your statement. ; )

They are nice, but is there only one picture per animal? I mean, they only have one monkey, for crying out loud.

There aren't that many monkeys in American forests.

Maybe not, but there are apparently at least several African lions. Yipes!

NOAA has one, too! and it looks like they're public domain, too :)

I like the library's search. I also like that you get full information with the search results showing file size and print specs with the thumbnail. Very nicely done.

Great link, thanks for this! I encourage anyone who knows of other public domain images to post them! Very useful stuff...
