Photos of patios-examples to show contractors?

[purpleeyes]

we're thinking about putting a patio in our backyard this summer and I have only ever had decks, so I don't exactly know what I want. Can anyone point me towards some photos on the web of different kinds of patios. I tried searching google, but I didn't get very far.

Thanks!!

HGTV web site has some great ones. Also This Old House web site.

You could try plugging "patio" into flickr.com and see if it turns up anything that interests you.
