I am looking to use images /stock photos for my blog:
myblogpartner.com.
Can anyone suggest where can I find websites offering these kind of web images which can be downloaded and used?

Try searching.

Also, flickr lets you tag photos for fair use (Creative Commons license), not sure how you can search for them, but their website should tell you how. If you use WordPress, there's a plugin that lets you search flickr for photos you can use on your blog.

Very reasonable fees, and a tremendous selection on Dreamstime.com

Photos taken by (and the property of) the U.S. Government are usually free of copyright and royalty.
