blue rubber ball bouncing

this morning as i drove across the mall parking lot to got to work, my path was intersected by a small blue rubber ball rolling across that parking lot.

where did it come from? where was it going? and where had it been?

as i drove past the traveling oddity, it seemed to make its way to the drainage grate in the middle of the road....maybe only to be swept off to the water treatment plant or the ocean....

either way, i am sure that ball has as many adventures ahead of it as it has had behind it and maybe some day we will cross paths again
