					<description><![CDATA[Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to everlasting life, and there are few who find it. &#8211; Matthew 7:13-14 AMP Jesus said to him, &#8220;I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. &#8211; John 14:6 The particular path pictured above is one &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was clear, and he was as strong as ever. &#8211; Deuteronomy 34:7 NLT The kokanee salmon are spawning once again in my part of the world. In prior posts, I’ve mentioned how these fish sometimes spawn in water that is very shallow, or what some fishermen call thin water. They spawn here in spite of the fact that eagles and osprey often cruise overhead, using their keen eyesight to locate their next meal. A close-up of these fish over their spawning gravel can be seen at Salmon Spawning III. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 &#8220;The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind? Job 12:7-10 In an earlier post I’ve mentioned that there are times when we call things by names which can be a bit misleading (see Daylily). Although &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150:6 NKJV Well, it’s that time of year once again, and I can’t seem to help taking some pictures of these remarkable fish (and a remarkable dog this time too). It is sometimes difficult to get a perspective on just how shallow the water can be where these kokanee salmon spawn. To get to this particular place, we had to wade across a fairly large stretch of river. Actually, I waded whilst Cosmos opted to swim most of the way. Since this area gets little human disturbance because &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause — Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. Job 5:8-9 Sometime during the autumn months, I wrote about how nutrients from tree leaves which fall into mountain streams can be recycled into the food chain (see The Recyclers). Pictured above is a shed casing, or exoskeleton, of a stonefly. These critters play a big part of the food chain in those streams. It always does my heart good to see stonefly casing along the rocks and logs near the rivers. One &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Psalm 40:5 Photographing fish has been a challenge &#8211; especially when I’m trying to take the picture with one hand whilst attempting to get them into position with the other. In the past I’ve taken some photos of a school of these salmon as they are swimming over their spawning beds in the shallows of the river. This year I &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created. Revelation 4:11 It has been a while since I’ve flailed on the water with my fly rod. With all the snow and ice we’ve had this winter/spring, it was a welcome relief when I stumbled across a few of my pictures from warmer weather. The fish in the above photo is called a westslope cutthroat trout. The orange marking under the lower jaw is the reason for the name cutthroat. However, they can be &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Grayling aren’t new to the world, just new to me. They like cold water. I mean, like really cold water. (Notice my red fingers in the photo). A few years ago I was given the opportunity to try to catch some of these fish on a fly rod for the first time. This year I was given yet another chance. The grayling didn’t disappoint, and the Lord blessed me with some very nice fish. As &#8230;]]></description>
