know, I love walking (and hiking) a lot!<\/p>\n<p>Over the last week I have been exploring the local <a title=\"Green Coromandel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulsister.co.za\/wp\/2013\/07\/greencoromandel\/\">Coromandel<\/a> area by walking around it. I have walked on beaches, in forests, through small towns and up to viewpoints. Each and every step is special.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breathe in and out. Take a step. Connect with all that is around.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I often walk as a meditation practice to find my inner <a title=\"Stillness\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulsister.co.za\/wp\/2013\/05\/stillness\/\">stillness<\/a> through nature. It inspires my senses and allows me to appreciate the <a title=\"Beauty on my doorstep\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soulsister.co.za\/wp\/2012\/11\/doorstep\/\">everyday beauty<\/a> by noticing the simple things.<\/p>\n<p>I also walk to take photographs. Each and every day Mother Nature changes things around. She is ever present. No two sunsets are the same. And yes, I do love a good sunset and sunrise, though I struggle to get up early some days! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>By being outdoors and in nature, I can connect and re-connect with my inner self. I am able to more easily reflect on life, myself and all that is. I feel my inner self so much more. And to me, that is something special and divine.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy some of the magical moments I saw, felt and walked through.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo walk is an opportunity to take a walk with me through my \u2018photo\u2019 eyes. I often see the world through photos and love exploring my surroundings in this way.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Breathe. Step. Connect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you enjoy walking?
