Google Stock Photos

One of the things that has, in the past, made Google Docs a little more of a challenge to use, has been the lack of a clipart feature. We have become so dependent upon clipart that it is difficult to reconcile the fact that we must go out on the web and find our own images for insertion into our documents.

Enter Google Stock Photo! Now, if you open a document and choose to insert an image, one of your choices is to choose an image from Google Stock Photo. In the image above, I searched for the term "baby" (I guess I have babies on the brain!) and found lots of cute results.

No longer are you completely dependent upon finding your own imagery for your site, blog, or document! Knowing Google, this repository will only continue to grow. Being web based, and not a static software package, Google could update the photos in this at any time.

I love the possibilities this affords!
