Photos of Texas by Texans

Grimes County Treasurer Phillis Allen took this action-packed photo of her 6-year-old Labrador retriever Rex playing fetch in a local pond. A Lab through-and-through, “Rex just loves the water,” Allen said. She used her Nikon D40X SLR to capture the moment.

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.
