A Day in Beaverton and Durham Region

After my time with my cousins, I went up to Beaverton. Jo-Anne was up north visiting family so I did a solo trip and visited extended family. Again the cliche, the less than wonderful weather makes for great photographs. Beaverton is the what I would call the almost gateway to cottage country be it continuing north on the Trans Canada Highway to Orillia or head east over to Highway 35 and the Kawarthas. My cousins own the family cottage just south of Beaverton at Cedarhurst Beach, only there's not much of a beach anymore thank you to erosion on the shores of Lake Simcoe. 

This Smiths have deep roots in Brock Township and my great uncle Masson was the town doctor in Beaverton in the first half of the 20th century. Glad I got another photograph of his house on Beaverton's main street which also doubled as his surgery. 

Beaverton outside of Summer is dead, winter is probably even more dead. What's interesting are the boathouses on the Beaver River which are alternatives for cottages. I love photographing them. Driving back home I stopped in Udora which is a blink you miss it hamlet. I've driven past for year and wanted to document the general store. Now I did.
