Not a photographer - I just like using my phone to capture a memory/moment/something that catches my eye, in a way that pleases me and lets me look at it again..and again...

A couple paddleboarding along White Rocks coast between Portrush and Dunluce Castle this fine, warm day. Water was beautiful - calm and torquoise. Giant's Causeway headland in distance.

Final day of The Open. Shane at the 6th tee. Rory greets the crowds at the 18th. Scheffler walks on to 18th green as crowds close in behind. The claret jug is brought to the amphitheatre

Some images from today at The Open at Portrush (home to me)- a contemplative Rory, Shane Lowry putting towards John Rahm, Fanny Sunesson back caddying (for Stenson), blue skies, fluffy clouds, happy crowds and fun outfits.

Another golden sunset over Donegal, from Portrush's West Strand. Almost 8pm, early April, and people were swimming, bbqing, playing ball games...

Bees are buzzing in this mild weather. Took this in garden centre - he led me a merry dance trying to get a photo, as he buzzed from flower to flower

Rain was horizontal at times this past week, especially last weekend - soooo cold - so, naturally, this was the only way to spend it (in full disclosure- this was his, I had a cuppa lol)
