Challenge #3- "Amaze Me!"

The definition of amazing is as follows- causing great surprise or sudden wonder; astonish greatly; to bewilder or perplex. 

The third leg of the Duckman's challenges was for me to "amaze" him with something.  I have already filmed a video of my son catching a 4 pound bass and filmed a video of me chipping a golf ball into a bucket from 50 feet for challenges number 1 and 2, but this challenge is a bit different.  You see there are a number of things in this life that I find amazing and I'm not sure that I can choose just one or even have the chance to film one of these events or take a picture.  What I thought I would do is list a few of the things that astonish, surprise, perplex or bewilder me on a daily basis.  My hope is that the Duckman will be "amazed" in my efforts to point out to all of you the wonderful things that astonish me in my little world and grant me a passing grade in Challenge #3!
