The Crouching Venus or Venus Rising from the Bath, c1697.
A lead cast of an antique statue, installed at Knole in the late 17th century. It is based on a statue dating from 3 BC.
A nude female figure crouching and almost kneeling on her right knee, resting her left buttock on an overturned urn, her left arm crossed over her stomach and her right arm crossed in front of her breasts, her head turned to look over her right shoulder, and her hair coiled in a bun at the nape of her neck. She wears a bracelet on her upper left arm. The sculpture sits on a circular stone base which is then on top of a stone plinth.

The current house dates back to the mid-15th century, with major additions in the 16th and, particularly, the early 17th centuries.
What we see today is a remarkably preserved and complete early Jacobean remodelling of a medieval archiepiscopal palace. From an even older manor house, it was built and extended by the Archbishops of Canterbury after 1456. It then became a royal possession during the Tudor dynasty when Henry VIII hunted here and found the place a useful residence for his daughter - later to become Mary I - during his divorce from her mother, Catherine of Aragon. Elizabeth I is also said to have visited.
From 1603, Thomas Sackville made it the aristocratic treasure house for the Sackville family, who were prominent and influential in court circles. Knole's showrooms were designed to impress visitors and to display the Sackville family’s wealth and status.
Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.

Gilf!, a New York City street artist partnered with the NYC DOT Art Program and the DUMBO BID to create a mural constructed with wood, enamel and lacquer. The piece, titled “Trust Your Vision,” is inspired by mazes which allude to the difficulty of navigating through life especially in the competitive world of New York City. Gilf’s abstract work invites the viewer to decipher the hidden messages in the abstract piece. The mural is located on the Front Street fence between Adams Street and Pearl Street in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Bright paint colors were specifically chosen to bring life to the gray fence and energize visitors and inhabitants of the neighborhood.

Happiest Moment in my life!
When I was roaming in Jaipur Zoo (Nahargarh Biological Park), this free ranging squirrel [The Indian palm squirrel or three-striped palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum)] had come so close to my foot that it almost climbed my pant! Don't know how it found out my extra-special love towards animals, especially the rodents. He stayed for a few seconds before realising that I didn't have anything to feed him and then hopped along.
Yet, it hopped for about 5 feet away, stood up in its hind feet and was giving itself a nice face wash!
