This beautiful salt island was pristine a week ago, and now there are tracks. Whodunit!
This shot is 2 to 3 football field lengths into the Great Salt Lake, and behind me is nothing but open water. So we can eliminate a land animal or people. The past week we did have snow & rain.
My guess - birds. And once they took a sip of the salt water, they stomped their feet.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie at County Hall, London. Apologies for dodgy mobile phone shot.
I'm reading a book entititled, "PREMONITION: A Pandemic Story", that goes behind the scenes of the government and political fiascos to tell the stories of "out of the box" thinking individuals and small groups who pushed forward novel ideas and ways of implementing plans of action quickly and efficiently. It reads like a whodunit.
The Residence, a whodunit on Netflix is entertaining and sometimes hilarious. The main character/detective is a birder and they weave the birding throughout the story. If you enjoy seeing pompous politicians getting put in their place, it's a great watch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In April of 1983, New York, Susquehanna & Western ran a private charter of what was called the "Mystery Express". High paying clientele boarded the game of "Clue" at Little Ferry, NJ, for a run up to Cortland, NY. Someone would be "murdered" along the way and the patrons would have to put together clues to figure out whodunit. It also gave the opportunity for the railroad to debut it's latest Alco C-430, #3004.
The train ran to Passaic Jct, NJ, then up the Southern Tier line with a Conrail crew at the throttle. The NYS&W was using it's "haulage rights" for this train on the Tier. At Binghamton, the train would have to reverse direction in order to head up the Susquehanna's Northern Division putting the shiny Alco in the lead. Riders were placed in hotels in the Cortland area overnight and returned east the next day to solve the murder.
I believe at the time, it was rumored that Walter Rich, the president of Delaware Otsego Corp., owner of the Susquehanna, was the one who lost his life aboard the train. Now who would want him gone? I don't believe it was true, but railfans love rumors!
Here we see the train with GP-18 #1802 in the lead as they roll along the Delaware River near Callicoon, NY.
If only it was that easy.
A simple brass key found beside the road in Western France.
Today was such a blue sky day, I spent most of it sat in the garden reading a whodunit on my Kindle. So now it's back to found objects.
Someone stole Wilmur's dinner. The only clue left behind was a dirty tissue and the empty box. Hmm.... will Wilmur ever find the culprit?

The West End of London, and two landmarks in the same image – The Ivy restaurant and St Martin’s Theatre, which hosts the most famous play in the world, now in its 73rd year of a non-stop run.
The play is, of course, The Mousetrap, which began life as a 20-minute BBC radio play, Three Blind Mice. But the writer, Agatha Christie, expanded it to a full-length stage play which opened in London in 1952. It’s been running ever since, and is the longest-running theatre production anywhere in the world. Before it opened, Christie gave the royalties to her grandson, Matthew Pritchard, without any idea that it would become the phenomenon that it now is. Lucky man!
The Ivy restaurant opened in 1917. It has become a theatrical institution and a popular haunt of showbusiness people, so much so that mobile phones and cameras are forbidden in the restaurant. There are now some 30 other Ivy restaurants around the UK, but this one, in West Street, London, is the original.
Look at this classic light on the front of the Broadway Hotel at Woolloongabba, Brisbane. I could imagine it shining through the mist or fog in a classic whodunit movie or Sherlock Holmes story.
I hope one day it shines again.

I had this idea last year just after Easter. I had to wait a year to do it because the props I needed were not for sale. Here it is.
Pleasant dreams.
I used a single 500 watt equivalent LED bulb about 2 feet from the scene of the crime.

Saw these flies on this curled leaf, then spotted the caterpillar inside it, clearly perished. Can also see some web, so, did a spider kill the caterpillar? Don't think so...
there's also a dark patch next to the caterpillar (see comments), so I wondered if it might have been parasitised by a wasp??
Who knows? Any thoughts??
The flies were making the most of the opportunity in any case!

I’ve spent half of my childhood at her cosy home and she bought me my first copy of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ (and lots of LEGO).
For Beorn’s home, I tried to come up with some sturdy looking furniture that is still a bit ornated. Warm honey and wood tones were also important as the absence of leather and hide.
The airfield was established in 1936, initially for recreational purposes. At the beginning of World War II German forces attempted to capture the airfield, in 1940, via an airborne landing during the Battle for The Hague. This failed however and Dutch forces recaptured the airfield. After the Netherlands eventually surrendered to Germany, the Luftwaffe made no use of the airfield during the remainder of the war.
After the war the field remained a civilian airport until 1955, when it was turned into an Air Base. After 1968, operations decreased significantly; the Air Base was used mainly as a VIP airport for politicians and the royal family. In 1982 it was decided to close the Air Base, but it was not until 1992 that it was abandoned by the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Among the last aircraft to use the airport were military cargo aircraft heading towards Kuwait during the Gulf War. In 1997 a new residential area was constructed on the site of the airport, Leidschenveen-Ypenburg. Very little remains of the airport today, the former air traffic control tower being a notable exception.

Not that there was much to buy. Tried to solve the mystery, but it was no use. I enjoyed detecting, but never could figure out whodunit.

On the outskirts of our galaxy, a cosmic tug-of-war is unfolding—and only NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope can see who’s winning.
The players are two dwarf galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, both of which orbit our own Milky Way Galaxy. But as they go around the Milky Way, they are also orbiting each other.
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds gravitationally tug at each other, and one of them has pulled out a huge amount of gas from its companion. This shredded and fragmented gas, called the Leading Arm, is being devoured by the Milky Way and is feeding new star birth in our galaxy. Using Hubble data, scientists have now solved which dwarf galaxy is doing the pulling.

Madonna or Madonna Louise Ciccone (1958) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. During the MTV craze in the 1980s, Madonna pushed boundaries with her song texts and her provocative performances. She frequently reinvented herself and her music and stayed the 'Queen of Pop' for decades. Her global bestsellers were hits such as Like a Virgin (1984) and True Blue (1986), but for us she became more interesting with songs like Like a Prayer (1989), Vogue (1991) and Frozen (1998). And we're still fan, even of some of her films, including Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Truth or Dare (1991), and Evita (1996). The remarkable, hyper-ambitious Material Girl who never stops reinventing herself, Madonna is a seven-time Grammy Award-winner who has sold over three hundred million records and CDs to adoring fans worldwide.
Madonna was born Madonna Louise Ciccone in 1958 in Bay City, Michigan. Her father is Italian, her mother was French-Canadian. Her siblings are Anthony Ciccone (1956), Martin Ciccone (1957), Paula Ciccone (1959), Christopher Ciccone (1960), and Melanie Henry (1962). In 1962, Madonna's mother, pregnant with her sixth child, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She delayed treatment until her baby was born, but by that time it was too late. A harrowing, yearlong battle with the disease ensued. She lost her battle with cancer in 1963. In 1978, Madonna moved to New York and studied with renowned choreographer Alvin Ailey. She joined up with the Patrick Hernandez Revue, formed a pop/dance band called 'Breakfast Club', and began working with then-boyfriend Stephen Bray on recording several disco-oriented songs. New York producer/D.J. Mark Kamins passed her demo tapes to Sire Records in early 1982 and the rest is history. The 1980s was Madonna's boom decade, and she dominated the music charts with a succession of multimillion-selling albums. Madonna first appeared on screen in two low-budget films marketed to an adolescent audience: A Certain Sacrifice (Stephen Jon Lewicki, 1979) and Crazy for You (Harold Becker, 1985), starring Matthew Modine. Her first film, A Certain Sacrifice (1979), was released in 1985, after she became a star, but was actually shot in two parts, the first in 1979, and the other, in 1981. However, she scored a minor cult hit with Desperately Seeking Susan (Susan Seidelman, 1985) starring alongside spunky Rosanna Arquette. In 1984, she started fashion trends with her unique look using rosaries and crosses as jewelry and black rubber typewriter bands as bracelets. Legions of adolescent girls mimicked her look and a Madonna clothing store was opened in New York. Again in 2001, another huge fashion trend was set off by the "Material Mom", this time with western wear - cowboy hats and mud-splattered jeans. In 1986, she starred with then-husband Sean Penn in Shanghai Surprise (Jim Goddard, 1986), which was savaged by critics. She managed to somewhat improve her standing in the cinema with her next two films, the off-beat Who's That Girl (James Foley, 1987) and the quirky Damon Runyon-inspired Bloodhounds of Broadway (Howard Brookner, 1989).
Madonna played in the big-budget and star-filled Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty, 1990) bad girl Breathless Mahoney flirting with Warren Beatty. The epic failed to catch fire at the box office. Taking an earthier role, Madonna was much more entertaining alongside Tom Hanks and Geena Davis in A League of Their Own (Penny Marshall, 1992), a story about female baseball players during W.W.II. However, she again drew the wrath of critics with the whodunit Body of Evidence (Uli Edel, 1992) with Willem Dafoe, an obvious attempt to cash in on the success of the sexy Sharon Stone thriller Basic Instinct (Paul Verhoeven, 1992). Several other minor screen roles followed, then Madonna starred as Eva Perón opposite Jonathan Pryce and Antonio Banderas in Evita (Alan Parker, 1996), a fairly well-received screen adaptation of the hugely successful Broadway musical, for which she received a Golden Globe for Best Actress. The Material Girl stayed away from the film cameras for several years, returning to co-star with Rupert Everett in the lukewarm romantic comedy The Next Best Thing (John Schlesinger, 2000), followed by the painful Swept Away (2002) for husband Guy Ritchie. If those films weren't bad enough, she was woefully miscast as a vampish fencing instructor in the James Bond adventure Die Another Day (Lee Tamahori, 2002) starring Pierce Brosnan. Madonna began a directing career in 2008 with the comedy Filth and Wisdom (Madonna, 2008), and a year later she reunited with Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991) director Alek Keshishian to develop a script about the relationship between the Duke of Windsor and the Duchess of Windsor that led to his abdication in 1936: the result, a movie named W.E. (Madonna, 2011), starring James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough as the infernal but still royal couple. The film was released in 2011 to lukewarm critics but it gathered one Oscar nomination for costumes and won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for 'Masterpiece'. Madonna has 6 children: daughter, Lourdes Leon (1996) with an ex-boyfriend, Carlos Leon, son, Rocco Ritchie (2000), and adoptive son, David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie (2005) with ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, and adoptive daughters, Mercy James Ciccone (2006), Estere Ciccone and Stella Ciccone (2012).

After reading the extremely heart-breaking and emotional book, The Highway Of Tears, about the missing and murdered indigenous women along highway 16 in Northern BC, I was spent and felt the need to lighten the mood somewhat. A trip to the library turned up trumps with a couple of whodunits and a book of knitting tales. I should be OK for a week or so and then I will tackle the next heavy read on my shelf.
Whodunit? What was it? Was it the butler in the pantry? Is it the mystery of who took the last cookie? Is she trying to find out who parked in her spot? Let us know!
