Woodland Shores is now on Google Street View
Anybody with an internet connection can now visit The Shores. I'm not sure if it qualifies as a community boon or an invasion of privacy, but the streets of our beloved Woodland Shores are now available for inspection -- up close and personal -- on Google Maps. I'm both surprised, [...]
Bald Eagle in Woodland Shores.
Oh, say, can you see? Marc Morgan walks the Shores nearly every morning. It's a great way to meet the neighbors, and start the day with energy and focus. This time of year his walks begin before sunrise, but by the time he works his way down to the point the [...]
Feeding the Foxes.
Feeding the Foxes. I was going to give this post the title "Tim Lail Whistles at the Foxes" but as I was typing I realized that the meaning of the phrase could be misconstrued and seen as disrespectful to his wife (and my new friend) Debbie. So I went for the [...]
Looking for a Rainbow Connection.
What an extraordinary sight! Marc Morgan captured this morning rainbow arching over the Shores community center. Perfect timing -- on the day before our community vote on community covenants revisions. Somehow, this rainbow restores within me -- if only for a precious few minutes -- the hope and promise of community [...]

A bird's-eye view of the Shores. Ever wondered what our neighborhood looks like from above? I have, and Tim Lail must have, too. He took his drone and sent it way up high for a good look around. Click on the video to the right to see a bird's-eye view [...]
Casey Decker lights up the cove!
Casey Decker adds lights to cove park wall. Casey and Stephanie Decker were our very first taste of neighborly in Woodland Shores. It took several U-Haul trips (ten hours each way) for us to get all of our things moved up here and by the time we loaded up a [...]

FAQ page added to website.
My family has been in The Shores for a year now, and we've asked many, many questions about the neighborhood and its surroundings since we moved in. Recently, during a conversation with a fellow property owner, the subject of a Woodland Shores FAQ was suggested (thanks, Tim!). What a great idea to have a [...]
What’s the story on Shores Parking Permits?
Why are parking stickers or guest hangtags required on vehicles parked in Woodland Shores common areas? Tim Lail remembers: Years ago we had a lot of outside people and businesses that used our facilities without permission, especially the Dock Builders. Due to the size and central location of [...]
Who’s in charge of the little library in the park?
Who do we have to thank for the little library in the Park? I don't know who is responsible for this neat little library in the park (across from the community center) but I'd like for them to know how much enjoyment I've received from it. There is always something [...]

What is the history of the Woodland Shores sign in the park?
What's the history of this sign in the park? This beautiful sign appeared in the park recently and I'd love to know the story behind it. Who made it? I gather from it's orientation facing the water that it's primarily for boat traffic to see. I think it's wonderful, and would [...]

What happens to the cans collected in The Shores?
Why are aluminum cans collected in The Shores? Property owners in Woodland Shores enjoy paved streets throughout most of the neighborhood, but that wasn't always the case.

A snow angel in Woodland Shores.
A snow angel in Woodland Shores. I know that nobody likes to hear their new neighbors talk about how they used to do things back in Texas, or California, or Timbuktu but y’all… we just can’t help it. This new place we’ve moved to, with its independence, and its freedom and [...]
