THE MAKING OF 'Pax #2':No candid capers at the Crèma and no surf action on this wild 'n' wet day so I headed down the coast to my favourite backwater hoping for some good waterscapes.
Mother Nature smiled on me and I was not disappointed to find an Egret nearby at the water's edge and then this Pelican alone in a marvellous stormy weather waterscape.
Enjoy!
