Little bit of rain, little bit of sun, and a little bit of rainbow 🥰

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A blue sky is broken up by fluffy white clouds, hanging low over a valley of grass and pine trees. Occasional rocks and clumps of purple flowers stagger away across the valley floor, to where a rainbow rises up.

It feels like it's not stopped raining in weeks! It certainly looks like the occupants at #hagensorchard need to bring their washing in...

Suddenly it feels like #Autumn, with rain lashing down today. But sunny spells mean we also get the occasional rainbow...and sometimes, apparently, what you find at the end of them is a boat!

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption2 #rdr2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A wide, smooth body of grey water streatches out under a sky that is heavy with grey clouds, broken by long streaks of rain. Two low islands sit on the near horizon. One on the left is covered by a huddle of trees, while the one in the centre is covered in bright green grass that glows against the dark background. Caught in the gap between the two is the dark silhouette of a cargo boat, and reaching down from the clouds to land directly on it, is the end of a brightly coloured rainbow.

My favourite home-away-from-home when I'm out in #NewAustin - #ScratchingPost in #GaptoothRidge.

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. Looking out from a dark space through a large window that cuts through a stone wall, out at a sun-lit view of dry grass cut through by ramshackle fences and old farm carts. A tall rocky cliff faces rises beyond, leaving just a small between the top and the roof where the hazy sky can be seen.

With our Elk guide left long behind, it's a lonely road climbing the slopes of #MountHagen!

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption2 #rdr2photography #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. Looking down a deeply snow-covered slope that disappears between two rocky cliffs, a solitary line of footprints can be seen in the otherwise pristine surface.

A delayed post this week. An excess of enthusiasm led to a Saturday night in A&E and Sunday hobbling on a dodgy foot... If you need me I'll just be in my chair with a good book like Harriett here!

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A woman sits with her right side facing us. She is settled in a folding chair placed outside a canvas tent, a book resting in her lap. A canopy swoops out above above her head, and in the background a forest of trees is emerges from a mist that is warmly tinted in pink and yellow, despite a sprinkling of snow on the ground

Just a curious Devon Ox, wondering what we were doing crawling around in his corn field with a box-contraption...

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A big brown bull, with curved horns pointed toward the hazy blue sky, is standing at the edge of a field of corn. His body is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned to look at the camera.. A wagon with low wooden sides next to him is catching the low sun, although the contents are thrown into dark shadow.

You could also take over the undergroud hiding place of a few bandits at #BeaverHollow, tucked away down under #RoanoakeRidge!

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. The inside of a rocky cave, yet somehow there's a wooden cart pulled up alongside a stack of crates. An empty upholstered armchair sits facing a bright fire that burns in the dark, while in the distance a lamp is lighting the further recesses of the underground.

Down by #FlatIronLake near #BraithwaiteManor, the workers houses appear through a hazy morning morning mist.

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A hazy view towards a small wooden cabin, with a red roof and dark walls. Behind the cabin, a small stand of trees with bare trunks and a puff of branches and leaves at the top are huddles together. A porch juts out from the cabin to the right, overlooking a stretch of calm, flat water.

Bright lights, big city! But in places, the streets are a small town of their own. #saintdenis

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption2 #rdr2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. It is night time, and shadows hide the details of the grass in front of a rought fence of vertical planks that runsat an agnle in front of us. But on the other side of the fence, light spills from the windows and doors of a mismatched row of ramshackle houses, and lamps hanging over the doors add more patches of brightness in the dark.

The snow is back! I've been enjoying the dusting down in #newaustin, where it falls but doesn't settle. As you head east it really starts to stick, especially as you get to #theheartlands ...

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption #rdr2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. Taken in broad daylight, two paths converge from left and right, and wind out ahead between rolling slopes of green grass towards two tall cliffs of rock that are disappearing into a white haze. Right in front of the camera, a rough wooden signpost directs travellers along each path, and everything in the scene has a layer of white snow beginning to settle over it.

A gorgeous bright sunrise heading out of #CumberlandForest promises a clear day ahead on the road to #Valentine

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A grass covered hillside slopes away ahead, dotted with low rocks and spindly pine trees, all thrown into dark relief by a bright sun hanging low in the sky straight ahead.

We passed the #VanHorn lighthouse at just the right time to catch the moody atmosphere of a foggy morning. You'll have to add the occasional boom of the fog horn yourself though...

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A lighthouse looms through fog, cast into shadow by low, hazy sunlight behind it. The shape of a boat is just visible sailing behind from left to right, rays of light are being cast up into the sky from a point on the horizon between the two.

A simple sea of swaying spring lupins today (try saying that fast after a few mugs of moonshine!), looking across towards #HangingDogRanch down in #BigValley

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A bright blue sky stetches over a wide open green valley. In the distance a solid mountain dusted with snow reaches up towards wispy clouds. In the foreground, tall spikes of bright blue lupin flowers rise up from lush green leaves, and between the two, a collection of farm buildings huddles together in front of spindly pine trees.

#poppies glowing in the moonlight at The Loft, for #remembrancesunday and all the fallen...

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption2 #rdr2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. It is nightime but lumpen grey rocks can still be seen in the moonlight that gently bathes them. Springing up out of thick green grass in front of them, red poppies and white daisies show up brightly against the dark background.

Hello BlueSky! What better photograph to use today than this one, of glorious blue skies over #PaintedSky with not a breath of wind to move the smoke.

#RedDeadOnline #RDO #RedDeadRedemption2 #rdr2 #VirtualPhotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken low, with most of the frame filled by a wide open blue sky and not a cloud in it. Standing on the grassy ground at the bottom is a wooden cabin, with dark fir trees to left and right. White smoke is streaming straight up from the chimney in a fluffy plume.

Can't quite believe it's #christmas next week..! Our camp is decorated again for the season and looking particularly cosy with the candle-lit tree 🎄

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption #rdr2online #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. It's night time, and in a clearing amongst some trees is an open air camp. Chairs and cut tree trunks are gathered around a camp fire to the left, with wooden barrels, tables and chests in clusters around them. Tucked up against a large tree in the centre of the picture is a small fir tree, decorated with ribbons, candles and small ornaments, casting a pool of light n the snowy ground around it.

It may look warm, but this is #GrizzliesWest, so the temperature was in the negatives!

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A path beaten into blue-white snow curves away from cool shadow into towards the light around a rocky outcrop on the right. Fir trees rise up tall on the left against a sky that's hazy with mist, and glowing a warm bright yellow.

I'm off next week, so no post next weekend (yep, I post these live, no scheduling 🤠) but we'll see you again after that.

Here's Ford overlooking #Tumbleweed and preparing to move out this week.

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A horse stands on top of a small rise looking away over a dusty landscape of rolling dry hills and sharp cliffs. A few wooden buildings are just visible poking over the ridge. Her glossy orange coat is a similar shade to the dusty ground, and contrasts with the wide blue sky behind.

So much rain dumped on us by #stormclaudia this weekend, I couldn't stay quite as calm as the townsfolk of #valentine as they waited for their storm to pass...

#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemtpion2 #rdr2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A line of wooden buildings from the old american west run alongside a muddy road. The sky is grey and heavy with cloud, and long streaks of rain are falling across everything. Several people are waiting under the various roofs and porches, leaning on walls and railings as they look out at the rain.

A dusty #ChollaSprings in #NewAustin. Feels like my garden is almost as dusty right now! We did get a tiny shower of rain though.. who else love's the smell of rain on dry soil?

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. A blue sky dotted with puffs of cloud is spread over a landscape of yellow dirt and red rocks, baking in the bright sun. A track runs straight ahead through scrubby green bushes, passing a broken down wooden wagon before it disappears into a haze of dust that hangs in the bowl of a canyon ahead.

There's a real spring-like feeling in the air, so here's a double rainbow we caught between the bluffs at #Plainview to celebrate.

#reddeadonline #rdo #rdr2photography #reddeadredemption2 #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. An area of brown dirt broekn by scrubby bushes and grass reaches out ahead, coming to an abrupt halt where the ground drops away. On the left a smooth slope of muddy cliff rises up toward the grey sky. Rain drops streak down from the sky, but curving across it are two beautiful rainbows, the lower one bright and glowing, the upper one faded but still visible.

Two roads diverged in a (marshy plain), And sorry I could not travel both... #RobertFrost

However, in our case, I know we will be back to travel the other one at some point!

#reddeadonline #rdo #RedDeadRedemption2 #rdr2photography #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. It's a bright sunny day, and a clear blue sky streatches overhead, barely interrupted by occasional fluffy white clouds. Flat green grass streatches away, broken up by bare trees and scrubby bushes. A dirt track in front of the camera has split in two, one arm curving away to the left, the other curving away to the right. Directly ahead, a signpost at the junctions points in both directions towards various destinations.

An Elk acting as our guide near #beartoothbeck, heading up into the mountains and snow of #grizzlieswest!

#reddea#reddeadonline #rdo #reddeadredemption2 #rdr2photography #virtualphotography #thesightseeingcowboy
A photograph taken from within a video game. It's daytime in a snowy landscape of rocks and pine trees. Lumpy cliffs rise up on the right, the varying angles of rock holding pockets of snow here and there. On the left, low pillows of rock are catching the sun that spills over the cliffs. Bteween these two walls, a path of white snow curves through, while trotting away along it is a cream and brown coated Elk, holding up a fine head of antlers as it watches ahead.
