You can do an internet search for exactly that phrase, plus some descriptors (e.g., "public domain" photo kittens basket), but you'll still want to check on the licensing information on each image.

Another option is to use royalty-free images which require a one-time fee, but tend to be of fairly decent quality.

Unless you are looking for sufficiently old images for which protection has expired, or intend to use NASA imagery (which is in the public domain), your best option is to look for Creative Commons licensed materials. Creative Commons images are still protected by copyright, but the rightsholder has given them an extremely broad license that allows a variety of uses without further permission. You can search via Flickr using the Advanced Search options to find only CC-licensed images, or you can go to the Creative Commons website linked below for many other search options.
