Many people wondered why I brought back 25# of rocks in my suitcase from Alaska. There were two reasons. First, I’d dropped off about that many pounds of maple syrup so I had the room. Second, 250# wouldn’t fit so I made do.
I did bring back many photographs of some of the rocks I did see and enjoy and will share them over the next few days. I realize for some these don’t compete with bears and whales. So it goes.
Also, I’m not a geologist. My appreciation of these is mainly subjective. Not that that is any “less” but only to clarify.
These were two moderate size stones, just two of millions, on a beach five feet deep in shingle.
Fascinating to think about how these stone was formed long ago.
Still Learning To See 
What fantastic stones. I’m not a geologist either, but thought at one time I could be. These are wonderful!
Thanks,Deb. I knew you, of all the souls in the world, would enjoy these!
John you and I are two if the same breed:-) i chuckled at your 250# comment. I’ll show you my Norway treasured fossil sometime.
“I’ll show you my rocks if you show me yours!” No wonder Liz doesn’t worry about us.
