Seeing the Beauty

What do you think is the most beautiful spot in Moultrie County?  

I have several favorites. There’s nothing quite like the sight, smell, and sound of a field of freshly tasseled corn on a summer evening in July, especially on the high ground north of Bethany near St. Isadore’s Church. It’s the highest spot in the county and you can see lights from five towns in the county plus Decatur from there. The fresh, clean smell of corn pollen fills the air, and, I swear, you can hear the popping sound of corn growing! For farmers, that sight, smell and sound brings great joy.
