This guy fascinates me.

Lloyd Kahn has featured him in most of his books…and deservedly so.

What imagination!

What energy!

Something to shoot for, for sure.

Sun Ray Kelley!

Google “Sun Ray Kelley” and do an image search to see a  kaleidoscope of crazy free-form building.

I know that building codes are with us for a reason. If you didn’t have the skill and the vision that this guy has, you could end up with a pretty horrible hodge-podge of bad (and dangerous) structures.

But….why do you have to be a renegade to do something really interesting?

And…could I find the energy to finish the treehouse after working a 10 hour shift delivering mail?

Surely, there has to be a way to do that?!

Sun Ray looks older than me.

Surely I can rise to the challenge of finishing the treehouse if he can build all this wild stuff?

I don’t even have to stomp around in the mud to do a treehouse.

I can do it.

Here’s another Sun Ray video…

Working for a living is OK….but, I could be spinning on one of these things.

That’d be kind of cool in a weird way, too.

(Hah! Here’s one of the comments from the YouTube site about this video: “You are crazy so the Indians won’t scalp you.” Hah!)
