Sol 148… Hissing Sid feeds..?

What was that? “Who’s Hissing Sid?” Ah, showing my age there! I imagine that if you’re not British and older than 35 you won’t have a clue… Well, I’m not going to tell you, you’ll have to Google it… ;-) (But before you do that, click on the image for a full size version).

Wow, Phoenix really is digging deep now… they’re clearly determined to find out just how much ice is hiding beneath the surface before Phoenix dies from the cold… :-(

As usual, click on the pix for BIGGER versions…

Sol 140 Jewel Box…

At the risk of being a bit own-trumpet-blowy, I think this is one of my prettiest “gems and jewels of Phoenix” images so far…

Just love the translucency of those beads in the middle there… :-)

Another from the same Sol…

… but the first one is definitely my favourite from this Sol… :-) Click on those images to bring up full size versions, as usual.

Sol 137 jewels and gems…

I think this is my favourite “gems” image for quite a while… obviously these aren’t gems at all, but grains of martian dust as seen by Phoenix’s powerful microscope, and I’ve ‘tweaked’ the colour to make it look, well, more stunning. I make no apologies for that, this is my blog and I can do what i want! Haha! Anyway, hope some of you like it too :-)

As usual, click on the mage above for a full size version…

Love these really simple images showing rocks and stones just dumped on the surface… seem very real and familiar, don’t they?

Click on the image for a full size version, as always :-)
