Tennis Ball

Today I noticed that there's a tennis ball in our gutter.  It's only visable from my parent's bedroom, where the blinds are usually closed, but today they were open and there it was: an old, filthy tennis ball.  So filthy, in fact, that I couldn't tell what the colour of it was - black?  I've never seen a black tennis ball, so maybe it was just really that dirty, having sat in the gutter like a sad, forgotten relic of whoever lived here before us.  I wonder who was the unfortunate kid who lost it - were they playing with a dog?  Eachother?  Just tossed it up there by lucky throw?

So many questions, and all inspired by an old dirty tennis ball.  What did you notice today?
