I get the occasional questions regarding what hiking shoes I like, well we left the mountains and headed for the sand so lets talk about my latest love.

I orginal purchased these Ecco Yucatan sandals a few yrs ago for hiking in areas with water crossings. Then I hit my late 40's and became fearful of a slip, trip or fall while on the trail. For a time they became my exploring European Island adventure sandals (yes my shoe closet is full with shoes for a specific purpose), this week I discovered how great they worked on compacted sand. OMG, 5 mile walks on the beach have never felt better! I love these for long walks on the beach! They have the perfect support and comfort and make walking on the sand effortless. #ecco #eccoshoes #beachvibes #walksonthebeach👣

"The secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart". ~Anthony T. Hincks~

Been a minute (17 months) since I caught an Atlantic sunrise. My life was so different then. This morning beach walk was a time of reflection and to be grateful for it all. #sunrise #reflection #alanticocean #beach

Woke up this morning with the comforter over my head and 67 degrees in my room, which means it was 20 degrees colder outside. Hopped out of bed washed my hair, showered, grabbed a couple of swimsuits, sandals, shorts, loaded up the car and headed to the beach. 4.5 hrs later and 83 degrees I landed back in Low County! God it's good to see and hear the ocean again!

This girl is headed to the bar then beach! Status and membership pays off. Not the best view on the property, but not bad! #marriotttitaniumelite #marriottbonvoy #hiltonhead #southcarolina #lowcountry #whitesandybeach #alanticocean

Not sure how you end your 5.5 mile hike in the enchanted forest ( @pisgahnationalforest ), but ours end with a glass or two of Rosé. No judgment, I work hard hiking to John Rock today. #pisgahnationalforest #wncmountains #wnc #fallhikes🍁🍂 #blueridgemountains #rosé #brewery

Unexpected hike yesterday led me to this beauty. Not going to lie, although I was prepare for a hike, I was not ready lol! I read the hike was strenuous, but adding 20 lbs of camera gear made it a little more challenging... Anyhoo, there were plenty pups like Eva encouraging me along the way. As Eva kept stopping to look back at me, I swear I heard her say "we leave no bitch behind." Lol Eva and I made it back to the trailhead safely!!! #waterfalls #waterfallchasing #naturelover #blueridgemountains #blueridgeparkway #fallhikes🍁🍂 #landscapephotography #naturephotography #northcarolina #wnc #appalachia #828isgreat #thegreatoutdoors
