The Pool is now open!

I dive into someone's life

No matter how briefly 

for the thrill of the unexpected.

To glimpse a World 

I might not see otherwise..

The Moat has been painted Swimming Pool Blue with the usual Roadside Flair!

Bring your swimsuits! 

Spouting with Joy!

Life is Simple

Just add Water!

Finally testing out the water feature and blasting out water from the blow hole.  

*Of note in the wild whales do not squirt water out their blow hole.

 That's hot air condensing in the cold air.

Water hydralic pump is on order and the Whale will be shooting water at the top of every hour between 10 am - 4 pm daily!

You have to Struggle no matter where you are to get to where you are going..

-Michelle Rodriguez-

While there are many struggles in nature,  humans have it easy.  We don't think so.  However watch but a few national geographic episodes and you'll find it's survival of the fittest.  Many people look at their Dreams and find them too daunting for various reasons.  I for some time was one of them.  But no longer do I see my own Passion Project as a struggle.  After 8 years of making tiny steps towards the goal, I've gotten to exactly where I'd hoped I'd be.  The creator of a functioning Roadside Attraction. 

I teamed up with the amazing artist, Derek Diorio after doing some incredible murals in Guatemala. He depicted one of the most classic underwater struggles.  A sperm whale vs a giant squid is captured on a wood cut out.  This painting, which has 3-dimensional qualities including ink gushing from the entrapped cephalopod, has truly brought life to the roadside environment!

Gray Whale!

"Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things."
- Pablo Picasso -

On an oddly warm afternoon I decided to step outside and apply one coat of gray paint to the exterior of the whale.  The concrete darjit mixture I used had many variations in color since I used recycled household paint as my acrylic adhesive solution.  Now the whale has a consistent gray color and still will allow mosaic tiles to be applied.
