Photons and visual light So far as I understand photons are particles of energy that are produced when an electron moves down an orbit. That emitted photon bounces off of objects and because of the evolution of our eyes we see the colors that the object doesn't absorb. Sometimes not all of the energy is absorbed so that photon continues to bounce around until it's fully absorbed. My question is does the photon that is absorbed and then emitted continue to be transferred between objects infinitely? Please correct me about any miss understandings I have and if possible try and simplify as much as possible. Thanks!
 A: 
So far as I understand photons are particles of energy that are produced when an electron moves down an orbit. 

They are, particles,  the gauge bosons of the electromagnetic interaction in the quantum mechanical field theory model of particle physics. In addition to being absorbed and emitted by atomic transitions of electrons, they can also be emitted by accelerating charged particles. 

That emitted photon bounces off of objects and because of the evolution of our eyes we see the colors that the object doesn't absorb.

It is much more complicated than that. The light our  eyes register is an emergent effect of the quantum mechanical superposition of a very large number of photons. Thus a large number of individual photon interactions with the cones in our eyes  are interpreted by the brain as "light". Equally  important, there is perception of color, which is a biological effect that interprets color in the brain.

Sometimes not all of the energy is absorbed so that photon continues to bounce around until it's fully absorbed.

Once a photon interacts and loses part of its energy, it is a new photon, with smaller frequency because its energy is equal to h*ν. Consecutive scatters will lead to eventual absorption of the energy of the original photon.

My question is does the photon that is absorbed and then emitted continue to be transferred between objects infinitely? 

As said above,no, it is not the same photon, consecutive photons of consecutive bounces have smaller and smaller energy, until they are absorbed by the lattice of the material ( which has infrared bound states).
A: You are asking whether photons are absorbed and emitted infinitely. Now it is very important to understand that photons are elementary particles, and they are indistinguishable. 

Photons are boson, so it follows the Bose-Einstein statistics which is only true if the particles are truly indistinguishable. If you can distinguish between two photons, then it will follow the classical Boltzmann statistics which is not what happen in experiments. That means photons with same properties are the same.

Same photon or different photon?
Photons can have any energy (frequency) though. But the very important thing is, when a photon is absorbed, it ceases to exist as photon, and transforms into the energy of the absorbing electron/atom.
We cannot talk about that specific photon anymore, because it ceased to exist as photon. It from that moment on exists as energy (inside the electron/atom system).
When the same electron/atom system emits consequently a photon, that is not the same photon. Photons do not have a licence plate. You cannot identify them like that. Even if the photon that is emitted has the same energy (frequency), that is not the same photon anymore.
Energy is what is eternal, and quanta of energy (photons) bounce all around, get absorbed, emitted, as you say, but that does not mean that we are talking about the same photon, but just the same amount of quanta of energy (if it is the same energy/frequency). The underlying world is QM, and energy is what gets transformed, and propagates.
