Universe Today has Phoenix's First Views With Color from Mars.
"NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander spent its first full day in the Martian arctic plains checking its instruments in preparation for an ambitious digging mission to study whether the site could have once been habitable."
"The earliest engineers would move Phoenix's 8-foot-long arm will be Tuesday, but it'll be another week before the lander takes the first scoop of soil. After the initial taste test, Phoenix will spend the rest of the mission clawing through layers of soil to reach ice that is believed to be buried inches to a foot below the surface."
