There have been some good video footage of the "Dust Devil" which was in the general vicinity of the Ingenuity Helicopter and had it crossed paths with Ingenuity, it might have damaged it or at least coated it with what is referred to is "Fines", which is a very fine dust particles... The panorama is relatively bland as this area is the the Jezero crater* floor and the image pan looks out toward the crater rim...
* "Jezero crater on the edge of the Isidis basin. Jezero is a crater on Mars located at in the Syrtis Major quadrant. The diameter of the crater is about 49.0 km (30.4 mi). Thought to have once been flooded with water, the crater contains a fan-delta deposit rich in clays. Perseverance landed in Jezero Crater, which is located on the western edge of Isidis Planitia, a giant impact basin just north of the Martian equator at about 18 degrees latitude, 77 degrees longitude.
I hope you enjoy this...

I’m not sure why anyone would want to live on that barren planet.

I agree with you Gene. It's neat to see but live there??? I don't think So. I think we can use it as practice for when we break the speed barrier problem and can go light years away to real candidates for life....

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - we have plenty of greenery and wonderful lakes and streams/rivers. We even have a great coast line.

Thank you my space-exploration advocate friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the documentary video focused on the 'Perseverance Rover captured a Dust Devil behind Ingenuity Mars Helicopter on sol 52'
I wonder what the creators of legendary Pecos Bill would think of this
