Here is one that 'got away'. You can see that many of the large formations on this beach are caused by glacial dump coming down from the Cascade Mountains and this solidifying. There are all kinds of rocks and pebbles encased in this mass. As it becomes exposed to the action of waves and tides, more of the rocks become released. For this reason the beaches in this area of the Straight of Georgia are composed of literally thousands of stones of all kinds. It is a rock collectors dream, as though nature has washed them to expose their colors, and then deposited them where you can browse at your leisure.
I wanted this yellow one in the worst way (I think it is yellow jasper) but I could not get it out of the conglomerate.
