In the Mountain Ferns
It was our first time camping without another person. We travelled through the mountains on logging roads. Most of the spots were overgrown, but this space was not. The ground was to rocky to sleep on, so we set up camp in the car.
As the heat of the day gave way to the cool of the evening, we took photos to the sound of chirping crickets and a strange mechanical buzzing that sounded like a drone whizzing by. I set my phone out to see if I could capture this strange sound. Luckily I did. It was a bird! It moved to fast for me to actually identify it properly. All I could see was a quick blur.
