Still life in a friend’s garden

I came across this appealing composition in a friend’s garden.

The crane statue is a recent addition. I know this because it was one of the items being thrown out at the Law Mansion (See: Sunday Morning Walk Home from The Patio – Walter Law’s Mansion). I initially took this piece, but later decided that it would work better in her garden than in mine. So I gave it to her.
