Day 19: New Beginnings From Another's Ending

Today was the 2nd official day of Fall.  LOVE the cooler temps.  I thought about making this image black and white but thought there was more "emotion" in leaving it in color.  This is Riker's ball.  It started out being a vibrant, yellow tennis ball.  With the elements of this past summer and his mad chewing skills, it has turned into this.  This image represents a few things to me... summer ending, my first DSLR days and my new d700 arriving in a few short hours.  A little bittersweet.  Although I will miss my camera, I am *so* excited about what is to come.  And thrilled about hoodie weather :)
