Attributing Images

The next 'thing' I need to blog about is posting an image.  I watched the video on the 23things blog and I was all set to tryout flickr, but I was unclear about whether or not it is necessary to have an account to use the images.  So, I searched for a photo using Wikimedia commons.  Here it is:
