Google images is pretty good, especially of places for CBI. "Picture It" is a VERY cheap piece of software with GREAT photos, esp. of daily living activities....things to do w/ restroom, grooming, etc. that you won't find just anywhere.

I always preferred to use real-life pictures and either use my digital camera or the Picture This CD from Silver Lining Media, Inc. which is much cheaper. If you are an educator, if this is what your student needs, they have to provide it. Lack of money can never be used an excuse to not provide what a child needs per IDEA 2004. I don't know your state, but if you let me know, I could tell you how much your state gave back to the federal government because they didn't use it as part of the money for NCLB.

Boardmaker is a terrific program, but it does cost around $300. If you can't afford that, there is a web site with thousands of images/pictures done in Boardmaker style. You can get a thirty day free trial, and you can print out a lot pictures in thirty days!
If you do have Boardmaker you can import these pictures into the program.
You might also try your county resources. Our county as FDLRS and an assistive technology team. They have programs and materials we can check out, and you may have them, too.
Good luck!

http://trainland.tripod.com has a ton of free PECS pictures, including stores, restaurants and nearly every clothing article, holiday and emotion you could imagine.
Outside of the school itself, your district should own a program for any professional within the district to use. If not, a parent could request it and the district would have to serious consider purchasing or provide a prior written notice as to why it's not appropriate.

Writing with Symbols 2000
Powerful word/picture processing program that allows you to type words and have the option of having picture symbols appear with each word.

I had trouble following these links (above) but this one was good:
http://autism.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=autism&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dotolearn.com%2Fpicturecards%2Fprintcards%2Findex.htm
I use Mayer-Johnson"s Writing with Symbols and Boardmaker. Writing with symbols allows U or student to type and does everything Boardmaker does. BM is easier to learn but limited to making boards. WWS allows you to make picture worksheets too for homework. I use it with all my deaf kids, even the ones who sign ,to support spelling and other concepts- just to give a visual reminder.
Put it in the IEP and nag,nag,nag that you get it.

You can use a google image search, esp if you want real images. If you want line drawings, incl "coloring page" in the search and you'll get some nice ones.
You can use clip art-many websites offer them for free, like http://www.gif.com/.
And you can use this website:http://www.dotolearn.com/

www.dotolearn.com is just great for line drawings but if you need photos, then yahoo and google images are good too.
