      Carole MacRury lives in Point Roberts, Washington, on the US/Canadian border. Her beach side home gives her a wide view of the night skies and allows her to capture many moon events such as this blue moon. Owls, hawks, herons and eagles are common sights and roof-top companions. She is the author of “In the Company of Crows: Haiku and Tanka Between the Tides”.
