When The Moonshine decided to head north again to Conway and Bellingham for the weekend, we called up Sunray Kelley to see if he and his wife, Bonnie, wanted to hang out. I, of course, brought my camera.
We pulled in and parked where Loud Mary sank into the soft ground, then set off with Sunray to explore the magical spaces on his land.
Part of the Sun House.
Inside the hat-shaped turret of the sun house, looking downstairs.
The Stump House. Old-growth stump as foundation, set on the banks of a lake Sun Ray built.
Tree Fort. Note the size of the stump!
Sunray feeds his fish.
Sky House. I think of it as Dragon House.
At some point, Susanna let down her guard and I caught her as she really is - a sorceress.
Sky (Dragon) House eats the moon.

What an amazing place! I have plenty more photos of each of these spaces and will be posting additional blogs that focus on each space. Check out more of Sunray's work here.
