Photos of Texas by Texans

In mid-October, Johnson County Treasurer Barbara Robinson was touring Austin’s Zilker Botanical Gardens with her grandchildren, Lauren and Luke Moser (ages 10 and 6 respectively), when she captured this photo. “I take gobs of pictures and usually I just hope that one turns out like this one,” Robinson said. The unusual key-shaped architectural feature, known as the Butler Window, was the focal point of a home built in 1887 in downtown Austin; it was moved to the lakeside park in 1971

County officials and employees (and anyone else in a Texas county) are encouraged to submit their photos for publication in One Last Look to Jim Lewis, county editor at P.O. Box 2131, Austin, TX 78768. If you want the photos returned, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we will try to get it back to you in a few weeks. Also, our lawyers tell us that we can’t be held responsible for lost photos, so if you really treasure that snapshot, haven a 5x7 inch copy made at your local photo outlet and then send us a quality duplicate.
