Default Garden ornaments....statues......Backdrop ideas...?

I wish to purchase a garden ornament but dont just want to stand it on its own looking boring in my garden. Im trying to find some inspiration for backdrops from the net but cant find any. AND my PC is so slow I wonder if anyone can send me some sites with photos for ideas. Its a LARGE garden. We are not talking small garden.

When decorating your garden, use the 'surprise' principle. It's really very easy, especially if you have paths that curve, and high perennials that can 'hide' the stuff around the curve. Get whatever 'fun stuff' you like, and if you have even just one 'standard lot' you'll have room for at least 10 'decorative items.' You can put one gnome or a group of gnomes either peeking out or 'working unaware' under the leaves. You can put a 'reflection ball' in a small pond or birdbath in a sunny place where it can sparkle and shine with the sun. You can use things you like, and set them where you want, because it's your garden. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and at our Flower and Garden Show every year, the people who win the top 'amateur garden' prizes aren't those who use stuff they find in books or on the web or a 'formula' from a book. They spend time in their gardens, they love their gardens, and they have a 'natural feel' for the decorative pieces they put into their gardens. Whether you want gnomes or stone animals and reptiles or glass balls or all three ... it's YOUR garden, and you should buy what you like and put it where you want to ... I guarantee that it will look wonderful, not just to you but to those who can see in or take a walk in your garden.
