We’ve been posting the “totem poles” you guys have been sending in to identify particular neighborhoods and landmarks, and just adore them! Check this one out (read below). What a unique and special way to honor visiting guests! 〰️〰️🐟〰️〰️ “This was here when we purchased our home. Every time an out of town guest comes to visit, a fish is added with the City your guest came from and the mileage to get here. We have added four fish since April and will continue this tradition!!” - Jeanne Nappi 〰️〰️🎣〰️〰️ #smithlakelandmarks #smithlakesigns #smithlakebackroads #lakesideliving #lake #lakelife #smithlakelife #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakealabama #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Cullman al) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzjudSLdZE/?utm_medium=tumblr

#smithlakebackroads clothed in delicate sparkly rime ice this morning. We saw short lived tiny mixes of snow, grauple, and sleet on Rock Creek at Smith Lake later in the day.

A favorite sight to see. As many of us near our lake home, there are a few spots on the lake that have “totem poles” full of signs designating homeowners and home names for a given neighborhood. This one is a favorite, and a large one too. It seems to shout out lake home pride. We love it! Glad to see you there @fireflytreehouses ! 〰️〰️🏠〰️〰️ “Finally made it to the totem pole !❤️👏👏😊” 📷 @fireflytreehouses 〰️〰️❤️〰️〰️ #smithlakelandmarks #spotsonsmith #smithlakebackroads #smithlakepride #smithlakehomes #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livelovelake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #welovesmithlake #northalabama #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake Cullman County) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfr8XPhAl7/?igshid=1kke5tm9346ak
