Safety Harbor, Florida: Whimzeyland: Bowling Ball House

Artists Todd Ramquist and Kiaralinda transformed their property using, among other things, an under-appreciated home decoration element: bowling balls.

All homes are owned by members of Safety Harbor Arts And Music group, so they encourage visiting anytime. You just stroll around their yards (not inside the homes). Some self-serve art for sale.

I must say, Whimzeyland is just wonderful! And the art gallery in town is open and easily available to visit. Parking was fine on the curb above the house. We just happened to meet Todd, and he is a font of positivity..! Don't be in a hurry -- there's so much to see, including the three houses across the street.

We came by on a Sunday and found the Whimzey house. It is posted "No Parking," so we did a slow roll around a few times. They have a VW covered in all kinds of things in the back, giant feather painting, many blue bottle trees, and of course many many bowling balls. The neighborhood is also fun to look at.

There is other unique art in the neighborhood. Definitely worth a stop!
