Walking/Hiking Beginner

Boots - water resistant (if not completely water proof) with ankle support
Knife - an entry level folder is enough for now
Monopod - not as good as a trekking pole or tripod, but it serves both purposes

I'm assuming you already have a camera case, if you're just doing day hikes you shouldn't need something bigger than the average camera bag to carry extra lenses and water.

A decent day pack. Comfortable pants and socks. Hydration bladder optional.

Sounds like you're all set.
Unless you are actually having a problem that gear can fix, like shin splints from shitty shoes or too cold/hot/wet, buying gear won't make walking any more enjoyable.

personally I would never set foot outdoors without the newest flextrek 37000000000 whipsnake edition I-series.

I never got the point of poles. If I really need a stick for something I can just pick one up off the ground.

I only find them worth the weight when backpacking. You can go crazy fast using two poles, even with a heavy pack.
