20-Mile bike ride around Marblehead Peninsula

My brother David and I took a scenic bike ride around Marblehead
Peninsula this afternoon after the morning clouds cleared. I took this photo with my iPhone on Alexander Pike at the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve.

The Preserve is located on 19 acres of abandoned limestone quarry near the Lafarge Corporation's (the largest quarry operation in Ohio) current quarry operations. The Lakeside Daisy (Hymenoxys herbacea) is the rarest of the more than 200 plants listed as endangered in Ohio. The only natural population of Lakeside daisy grows on the Marblehead Peninsula.
