Scotland: An Awesome Trip

I went up to Ballater, Scotland the last week in February with an amazing group of people. Here are my favorite shots of the winter wonderland that I was able to enjoy.

All these pictures were pre-snow storm which snowed us in for a few days. [Un]luckily we were able to leave when we'd planned.

The Queen's residence, Balmoral Castle, up close and personal. We stayed just a couple miles down the road.

Mike and I hopped the "fence" and frolicked in the field leading to the castle (which you can see in the background). I'm just making my permanent mark: a snow angel.


Mike is in the background; he was hit by the sniper protecting the Queen's land. I impressed the sniper with my dance moves so much he spared me.


The snowflakes were awesome, and the frost was covering everything.

Perhaps my favorite shot; the back roads in the Queen's estate. It was a true winter wonderland.
