Search for an openly licensed image using different search strategies and sites.  Which one did you find easiest to use or best suited the kind of image you were looking for?

I tried a test case and searched for an image of ‘taking baby steps’.   I found the best image ranking below:

Best: https://pixabay.com/images/search/taking%20baby%20steps/

Second best:  https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=taking+baby+Steps&title=Special:MediaSearch&go=Go&type=image

Third place : https://openverse.org/search/image?q=baby%20steps

Fourth place (since the best image required an upgrade): https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=taking%20baby%20steps
