Welcome to all 1,269 newsletter subscribers!
There seems to be a nature theme going on in this issue, which was quite unintentional on my part. Perhaps it's because I've been reminiscing lately of days gone by. It seems to me that when we stop to enjoy the little things like smelling the roses, watching the waves roll in or even just hanging out in the yard to watch the birds, it gives us time to pause and reflect on life. So sit down, relax, take some time to read this newsletter and as our Photo of the Week suggests, enjoy "How Awesome Life Is."
To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather.
To find out what's happening this week and next, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
During the summer, we publish the Jaltemba Bay Life newsletter every two weeks. Be sure to watch for the next issue, which will arrive in your InBox on August 21st just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!

I am a self-professed nature nut in the two countries I call home, Canada and Mexico. The passion I have for flora and fauna that shows up in my many photographs and watercolours, must have begun during my early Canadian childhood as I can't remember a time that I didn't have this love... Read More

For me, the rainy season brings both rewards and challenges, some of which I shall recount here.... You be the Judge and decide which is which.
