Effort to restore endangered 'Goldilocks' plant to Kouchibouguac sees early success

Conditions have to be "just right" for plant to thrive, which means the people who are trying to save the plant first have to figure out exactly how it likes its bed, so to speak.

Dune-du-Sud on Île du Havre aux Maisons is one of the more interesting beaches in Îles de la Madeleine, #Quebec. It has some caves you can explore at low tide.

This is Butte de la Croix on Île du Havre Aubert, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, #Quebec. Didn't climb that one but we did climb the nearby Butte de Demoiselles. Great panoramic view from the top! Took this photo just because it seemed like a lovely composition.

This is a lovely view from one of the windows of the yellow saltbox house we stayed at for a couple of nights on Île du Havre Aubert in Îles-de-la-Madeleine, #Quebec. It was my dream house by the sea and I'm glad I had a chance to stay there even if only briefly. I'm always the happiest when I'm by the sea. Sadly, I live in a landlocked area far, far away from the sea. 😥
