Heel Click Photos

Wear the click!

2012-01-23T09:34:00.000-05:00

Check out this amazing picture! I love the plants in the background, but I love the outfit more. It is the perfect ensemble for heelclicking! This was taken at the botanical gardens in Phoenix, AZ.

Wedded Click!

2011-04-14T16:46:00.001-04:00

Do you take this clicker to be your lawfully wedded clicker?

Way out West click!

2011-01-08T08:25:00.000-05:00

What an amazing shot this is. My pal Eric has some serious heelclicking skills. Props to the photographer too. I don't know where this is taken but I'm guessing the west coast. Here's to Eric and his great adventure! Thanks for sharing this photo. Sending my best wishes to you.

On top of the world click!

2011-01-04T06:10:00.000-05:00

I really like this picture even though it's a little blurry. It says "flying" to me. It's taken on Stone Mountain in Georgia. We had a great time hiking up this monadnock.

Click where?

2011-01-02T19:58:00.000-05:00

Can anyone guess where this picture was taken?

Emerald Coast Click!

2010-12-09T14:52:00.000-05:00

This heelclick was an early holiday gift in my inbox. I don't know who it's from but I am so thankful he sent it!

I'm not sure where it's taken on the Emerald Coast but I love it! I have been to Panama City but that was a loooong time ago. What's your favorite place on the Emerald Coast?

Thanks Edgar!

Team Renee Click!

2010-12-07T07:36:00.000-05:00

This heelclick is dedicated to my dear friend Renee who is bravely fighting lung cancer and to all the people who support the North Carolina Lung Cancer Partnership.

May we all be Free to Breathe.

fountain click

2010-11-15T05:54:00.001-05:00

...Somewhere in Golden Gate Park...

clliff house click

2010-11-04T05:40:00.000-04:00

Lots of interesting things in this picture. I think there is a bird flying right above my head way off in the distance.

Happy Halloween Click

2010-10-31T18:39:00.004-04:00

~Happy Halloween Heelclickers~

golden gate park click

2010-10-29T06:25:00.000-04:00

That's one big tree. It's a Cypress I think. This is taken inside the Botanical Gardens at Golden Gate Park.

small click, big stage

2010-10-27T06:28:00.000-04:00

I look so tiny. This enormous stage is in Golden Gate Park. It's beautiful.

tea garden click

2010-10-26T06:23:00.001-04:00

This is taken in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. I only did one heelclick here and this is it. The garden is so beautiful and peaceful--I didn't want to disturb the peace too much. Here's a link to more info and pics about it.

rock stars click!

2010-10-25T07:19:00.000-04:00

More graffiti from Haight St. in San Francisco.

golden gate click!

2010-10-22T06:23:00.000-04:00

It's official. I miss San Francisco.

graffiti click

2010-10-21T06:19:00.000-04:00

This is taken near Haight Street. I think that dragon has a can of spray paint in his hand.

Playoff Click!

2010-10-16T23:59:00.001-04:00

Go GIANTS!

West Coast Click!

2010-10-15T07:48:00.000-04:00

This is a first. First time I've ever been to California. First time I've ever seen the sun set over the ocean. The weather was perfect for it. Things are kind of strange here. I'm still working all that out. More to come...

Olympic Bridge Click!

2010-10-02T10:20:00.000-04:00

This picture was taken at the Ocoee River in TN, site of the 1996 Olympic whitewater events. If you've never been there, you should definitely go. It's absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend riding the river while you're there!

BIG click!

2010-09-26T09:11:00.000-04:00

Here is Lisa C. clicking in front of the largest motorcycle I've ever seen. Those guys behind it are not paying any attention to her. Just another day at Cherokee County Cycles.

Guess the click!

2010-09-20T06:13:00.000-04:00

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no one can guess where this photo was taken. If you think you know it, leave a comment.

chugga chugga chugga click click!

2010-09-18T20:14:00.000-04:00

This is a great picture of the famous Chattanooga Choo-Choo. It's a pretty great click too.

beautiful lake click

2010-09-16T08:38:00.001-04:00

This picture was taken near the Ocoee National Forest at Parksville Lake. What a beautiful place! I wish I could have stayed longer. I also love how there is an awesome shadow on the concrete underneath me. I look like I'm catching some air there!

fountain click

2010-09-14T06:29:00.000-04:00

Can anyone (who wasn't there) guess where this picture was taken? I love the bird perched on the top of the fountain. He's surveyin' the situation.

reflection click II

2010-09-13T09:10:00.001-04:00

This is a cool reflected click pic taken outside the Smithsonian Art museum in Washington, DC. These glass triangles form the roof of the art museum's cafeteria. From up top, where I am clicking, you cannot see down....but from below, where the cafeteria is, you can see out these windows. I wonder if anyone saw me from below.

Smoky Lake Click

2010-09-07T06:30:00.001-04:00

This is Lake Junaluska. What a beautiful place to spend a morning.

somebody's watching you...click!

2010-08-24T14:26:00.001-04:00

Ever feel like someone's watching you? Sometimes someone really is watching you....and taking pictures. SCARY! This is another one taken of me when I was completely unaware. I really like it. One of my favorite parts of a beach sunrise is that pink color reflecting off the water. I will never get tired of seeing that. I wonder if it will look the same on the other coast at sunset? I plan on finding out in t minus 50 days!

Ahh pool in the summertime click!

2010-08-08T21:44:00.000-04:00

Off the diving board, yeah. That was fun.

Little Texas, Big Clicks!

2010-07-26T10:39:00.004-04:00

Check out Michele and Little Texas! They danced, stomped, and clicked their way to 2nd place at the TN State Championships! Way to go guys! Thanks for sending this. I am in awe of your stamina and talent and you are smiling all the while. Somebody get these guys some oxygen!

Heelclicking at about minute 2:45...

Silver Clicks

2010-07-25T17:05:00.000-04:00

My regular old gray shirt looks shiny silver in this picture. Just one of many strange and wonderful things that have happened since I started on this journey.

High as the sun click

2010-07-15T21:42:00.000-04:00

This is a strange one I think but I like it. To me, it appears that I am jumping a lot higher than is humanly possible. I like how I am as high as the sun.

water, sand, click, water, sun

2010-07-12T22:13:00.009-04:00

I like how the sun is reflecting pink off the water all the way to the bottom edge of the picture. There is nothing like being out there on the beach at dawn when no one is around. It's so peaceful. This week I was constantly reminded that if I show up, who knows what might happen. Don't plan the outcome. It's hard to tell what the sunrise will look like before it rises.

waves crashing click

2010-07-10T11:22:00.001-04:00

Since you can't see any footprints in this picture, it looks like I just materialized there in the air. I'm not sure how that happened.

ATT click!

2010-07-06T20:22:00.000-04:00

This little piece of paradise is the American Tobacco Trail (no smoking please). I highly recommend a walk or a bike ride on it. You can check out a map of it here .

long pier click

2010-06-30T19:43:00.000-04:00

I like how the wave is crashing, how the pier is reflected in the water, how my hands are at the horizon line. Good one.

Happy Birthday Heelclick Blog

2010-06-30T07:01:00.000-04:00

One of my good friends reminded me yesterday that I have now been blogging heelclick pics for over a year now. My first post was in late May of '09 so I'm a little late celebrating. I think that in honor of my blog's birthday, I will take some kind of crazy heelclick pics this weekend. Firework heelclicks anyone? That would be challenging. The picture in this post is from my birthday last year.

click to the other side

2010-06-29T22:03:00.000-04:00

I love the trees all gnarled. For some reason, this picture reminds me of how much I love how the beach smells. Next year I'm going to rent a kayak and click over to the other side.

Thanks MOM click!

2010-06-27T22:07:00.004-04:00

This is one beautiful picture. It is on the top of my list of favorites. My mom took it with her Nikon and her super photog skillz.

I didn't even know she was taking it, nor have I seen it until just now. I think it's amazing. Thanks Mom.

I love being at the ocean and feeling small because when I feel small, all the little things that bother me don't matter at all.

east coast click!

2010-06-26T17:46:00.000-04:00

I have been blessed with many east coast sunrises....soon I will click at sunset on the west coast.

Pier Click Pic

2010-06-24T07:19:00.001-04:00

This cool heel click pic was taken under the Pawleys Island Pier.

How does one go about building a pier I wonder...

endless clickabilities

2010-06-22T22:06:00.001-04:00

When I get up at sunrise to take heelclick pics, I feel like the possibilities are endless. Then I do 15 clicks in a row and I feel like I need to ice a few things. BUT....It's so worth it. This picture has it all: the clicker, the bird, the reflection, the just barely there sun, the sandbar, the calm water, the blue-pink sky. Serenity.

TOMS click!

2010-06-19T15:56:00.001-04:00

Here I am clicking in my TOMS. They have a section of their website called "How we wear them" where people upload pics of themselves wearing their TOMS. It's located here. If you've never tried on a pair of TOMS, you should. They are so comfortable and when you buy a pair, you give a pair to a child in need. It's a win win!

I click with porpoise!

2010-06-18T08:37:00.003-04:00

I invite you to write the caption for this picture.

Dylan said...

"I did this one unporpoise!"

S.C.U.T.E. Click!

2010-06-17T07:08:00.001-04:00

Here's Amy from S.C.U.T.E. (South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts) guarding a new loggerhead turtle nest (and me very carefully clicking behind it). We got this picture while she was awaiting reinforcements from the S.C.U.T.E. team. These folks do amazing things for the loggerhead turtle population. Check out their Facebook page here.

Wait for it....click!

2010-06-16T07:08:00.000-04:00

Couldn't see the sun at the horizon as it rose this morning, but when it did break through it was worth the wait.

Reflection click!

2010-06-15T05:14:00.001-04:00

I love heelclick pictures that show reflections.

This is Grace. It's her first heelclick photo and it's a great one.

Flyin' Click!

2010-06-13T08:00:00.002-04:00

Quick! There's an airplane! UPDATE: from S.C.U.T.E.: S.C.U.T.E.

Thanks for the heel click !! FYI, The Heel click with the plane?? That plane is the SCDNR plane that flys the coast on certain days during the season checking for nests. Murrells Inlet Jetty to Ga. , 200 ft off the deck @ 100mph !! What a GREAT "E ticket" Ride !!

Spectacular Click!

2010-06-12T06:18:00.000-04:00

This is my favorite beach heelclick picture. It's spectacular. Soon I'll be in this very same spot. I wonder what kind of sunrises I'll see. I can't wait to heelclick here again.

from London, click!

2010-06-08T08:53:00.005-04:00

Check out Nick Z. in his first heelclick picture ever. I believe this is also the first cobblestone click I've ever posted. He's in London in an alleyway near the Natural History Museum. Very nice heelclick style. I love the way the light is breaking over the buildings in the backgound, and the perfect placement of the fist in the air. Excellent setup. Thanks Nick!

Let there be LIGHT Click!

2010-06-03T10:00:00.004-04:00

Check this out. It looks sort of surreal. I love the way the light comes in and bounces off the walls. It's surrounding the clicker. Love it. Go Paige!

You clicked my battleship!

2010-06-01T09:57:00.005-04:00

I couldn't resist the title reference to one of my favorite games ever, Battleship. This is one of my favorite clickers, Lisa C., on the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington. I love the flags in the background. I wonder what the heck is that thing to your left, Lisa? An anchor perhaps? Beautiful!

Mother's CLICK!

2010-05-09T21:23:00.005-04:00

In honor of Mother's Day, here is my mom heelclicking on the beach. She is so supportive of me, and I appreciate that more than I ever let her know. This is one of my favorite heelclick pics ever.

I love you Mom.

POD Click!

2010-05-09T16:24:00.000-04:00

After the pod was unloaded, there was nothing left to do but heelclick. That's a first-timer there on the left, but she looks like a pro. Go Helen!

Cinco de Mayo CLICK!

2010-05-05T07:35:00.000-04:00

I happened upon a mariachi band. It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I was nervous asking them but one said, "You can do whatever you want in the picture. Can you sing?" I couldn't sing for them but they seemed ok with the heelclick instead.

Where the Buffalo Click

2010-05-01T21:24:00.000-04:00

Today was a great day for a trip to the zoo. That's my nephew climbing on the leg in the background. He's in heel click training.

Backpack, water bottle, and all CLICK!

2010-04-30T08:36:00.000-04:00

I don't think I've seen a heelclick yet with a full on backpack, water bottle, and all. Look at the air she's getting even with the extra weight! I'm impressed. Go LISA!

Brothers Click!

2010-04-23T07:08:00.001-04:00

Bar-B-Q + Brothers = Happiness. Not to mention sunshine and springtime.

Let the clicking begin!

2010-04-03T22:23:00.003-04:00

It's heel clicking season again! I love this picture. I love the guy in the background looking over. I love how the tree looks like it has brand new leaves. I love that this particular heel clicker is one of the most awesome teenagers I've ever met! I love spring!! GO PAIGE!

C'mon Spring Click!

2010-03-15T06:48:00.000-04:00

Seems like it's been such a long winter! I can hardly imagine the weather being warm enough to swim in this lake.

Jordan Lake Click

2010-02-25T06:51:00.000-05:00

Almost sunset at Jordan Lake. What a beautiful place.

Frozen water click

2010-02-17T07:18:00.001-05:00

Looking at this picture makes me cold, but happy too.

Alone on the Mall Click

2010-02-16T08:31:00.001-05:00

I can't believe I was the only person up heelclicking on this beautiful January morning.

Coolest tree click!

2010-02-06T10:23:00.001-05:00

This is the coolest tree ever. Can anyone guess where it is?

Nice warm beaches in summertime clicks!

2010-02-03T07:58:00.001-05:00

The weather outside has me thinking of sunnier, warmer days.

More Snow Fun Click!

2010-02-01T09:23:00.000-05:00

It happens so rarely in NC that we get this much snow. It's beautiful, and I hope it happens again soon.

Snow Click!

2010-01-31T07:32:00.001-05:00

It's kinda scary clicking in the snow. Maybe it wouldn't hurt so bad to fall though...on second thought, it would still hurt.

I like this picture--the tree tops and the snow blanket.

Another Monument in the Morning Click!

2010-01-29T08:04:00.001-05:00

I love how the flags are flying perfectly in the wind.

Also, I think there is a bird up there.

Freedom Click!

2010-01-27T19:42:00.002-05:00

"...thenceforward, and forever, be free...."

United States Capitol Click!

2010-01-25T06:32:00.002-05:00

Here I am clicking up to the west face of the United States Capitol.

I like how my scarf and the flag are both flying.

Memorial Click!

2010-01-24T08:13:00.001-05:00

Some may say it's tacky to click at a memorial site.

To that I say, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of Heel Clicks!"

(quietly and with respect)

Monument in the Morning Click

2010-01-23T08:18:00.004-05:00

Got up early for this one.

It was cold and a little windy and beautiful.

I like the pinkish tint of dawn reflecting on the water.

Jefferson Click!

2010-01-21T06:30:00.003-05:00

It's a long walk from the Lincoln Memorial to the Jefferson Memorial unless you can walk on water. It's definitely worth it though. What a beautiful city.

Capitol Hill Cops Click!

2010-01-19T06:29:00.002-05:00

"You wanna do what?" And then, "really, wow, ok."

(shaking heads, hands on guns)

Obama Click

2010-01-16T10:29:00.001-05:00

Maybe he was in there saying, "Michelle, come here and check this out." Maybe not.

Bean Click

2010-01-10T12:56:00.002-05:00

I love the way the shadow looks in this one...

Wintertime sunrise Click!

2010-01-09T09:14:00.001-05:00

the sunrise at the beach is even more beautiful in wintertime

White water click

2009-12-31T09:46:00.000-05:00

The reflection of the sun makes the water look white. I like the contrast in this picture.

I was really there...in the chair...click!

2009-12-27T07:43:00.001-05:00

A lot of people ask if the top photo of me in the gigantic rocking chair was photoshopped. To that I say, "don't ya think I would have made my butt look smaller if it had been photoshopped?" I really just climbed up there and clicked. No tricks, no gimmicks.

Merry Click

2009-12-25T07:55:00.000-05:00

Merry Christmas Click!

First Prez Click

2009-12-23T06:14:00.001-05:00

I cannot tell a lie. I took this picture at Presidential Park in Virginia. It was such an interesting and strange place.

3 hands click

2009-12-21T07:35:00.001-05:00

Almost looks like I have three hands in this picture. Not sure how effective one would be on the top of my head, but I often wish I had three hands...

Simplicity click

2009-12-19T08:34:00.001-05:00

Just me and some sand.

A little water in the background.

Sky.

Having it all click

2009-12-17T07:35:00.000-05:00

This picture has it all. The sun, the smoke, the waves, the sand, the click. When I am heel clicking, I feel like I have it all too.

Click in the cut

2009-12-10T06:24:00.001-05:00

I love the moment when you step through the cut in the dunes and can see the ocean.

Smoke on the water....fire in the sky

2009-12-09T07:14:00.000-05:00

I don't think I've ever seen smoke rise off the ocean. That is probably because I've never been to the beach in December. It was beautiful and peaceful, and I'll definitely go back next winter. Hopefully I'll still be kicking up my heels!

Under the Sun Click

2009-12-08T06:28:00.002-05:00

Clicking under the sun. What a beautiful picture. I think the water must be warmer than the air because you can see smoke rising off of it in the background.

Click like you mean it

2009-12-07T06:16:00.000-05:00

This is not my typical heel click picture, but I like it a lot. The trail of footprints leading up to the click, my one hand in the air, and of course the water all make this one of my favorites. I found out this weekend (or maybe just rediscovered) that there are things I can do to click higher--especially when I'm tired. One: get a running start. Two: yell out "yeah!" at the top of the jump. Three: Smile. With all that I'm clicking like I mean it.

December Beach Click

2009-12-06T06:05:00.001-05:00

It's official: I love the beach in December.

Fly like a sea gull (to the sea)

2009-12-05T07:33:00.001-05:00

....fly like a sea gull, let my spirit carry me....CLICK!

Ahhh Figure 8

2009-12-04T07:44:00.000-05:00

Grateful to have seen the sunrise at Figure 8 this morning.

Nothing finer than sunrise clicking

2009-12-01T10:02:00.000-05:00

I'm so grateful that I will be heelclicking at sunrise at the beach in a few days. There is no better way to start the day!

Love this Click!

2009-11-30T09:49:00.000-05:00

I love this heelclick. It's perfectly simple.

Thankful Click!

2009-11-26T07:13:00.000-05:00

This is a shot of my first heelclick at a busy public place. I'm in Chicago at The Bean, and it was a big deal for me. I walked around the thing about 12 times before I screwed up the courage to do it. It was fine once I got started. I'm thankful that I started heelclicking. It really changed me. I'm thankful my friend Chris was there to share it with me.

Headless Heelclicker!

2009-11-25T07:32:00.001-05:00

I should have posted this one on Halloween. It's a headless heelclicker. Seriously though, sometimes it pays to be looking down. Just ask anyone who's clicked on the mushroom stump.

Love the light at sunrise Click!

2009-11-24T15:16:00.000-05:00

There is nothing like the light at sunrise at the beach. It's definitely worth waking up for.

After Nia Click!

2009-11-23T08:39:00.001-05:00

Here are my good friends Lisa and Laurie heel clicking after a Nia class. If you've never been to one, you should definitely try it. It's great exercise and great for the soul too. Find out more about Nia and classes in the Triangle here.

Wide open spaces. Click!

2009-11-21T09:10:00.000-05:00

Wide open spaces! Go Jennifer! Just beautiful.

Keep going click!

2009-11-20T17:00:00.000-05:00

If you just keep going, sooner or later, your day will look like this....click...beautiful.

Too busy to click?

2009-11-19T14:30:00.001-05:00

Do you ever feel like there is a little shadowy version of yourself

leading you in all the wrong directions? I do. Especially lately.

Happy Girl Click

2009-11-14T08:24:00.003-05:00

This is a great picture of Sara clicking on Wintergreen Mtn.

Love the hair.
