NURTURING NATURE THROUGH A LENS
KEY WEST BOTANICAL GARDEN COMBINES ART & NATURE
“My whole idea is to inspire folks to get back out into nature and to engage by taking photos while doing that.”
So says Kristie Killam, a photographer and former U.S Fish and Wildlife park ranger. Her focus these days is documenting the vast variety of marsh birds, reptiles and complex meshwork of creatures and foliage that make up the integral, humming and living ecosystem that is the Florida Keys.
Killam will host a photography presentation and workshop starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden.
Visitors will be treated to Killam’s technicolor — often breathtaking — images of the wildlife she encounters as a self-described “nature nerd.” The digital shots tell compelling stories about the animals and plants native to this area of vast and quietly unseen diverse species.
Organized in collaboration with the garden’s executive director Misha McRae, Killam will begin a three-part speaker series and hands-on photography workshop kicking off at 1 p.m. “The program is going to include inspiring stories about nature,” Killam said last week. “I’m going to show practical ways in which to engage or re-engage with photography as a way of connecting to the natural world that’s all around us.”
Preservation of those natural resources, Killam added, is crucially integrated with her digitally captured works of art.
“I’ve always had conservation as my top priority while doing this,” she said.“I’d like to share this type of storytelling — through photography — with others. It’s all about what you can do to help and at the same time learn a new skill or develop advanced ways of using a camera to capture the beauty of the wildlife in the Keys.”
McRae agreed, saying he came up with the idea of adding such events to the garden’s calendar with an eye toward bringing more visitors to the nature retreat on College Road.
“This last year we decided we wanted to do more involved, extensive programs. Kristie’s presentation is part of our continuing plan to bring art and nature together,” McRae said.
He added that Killam is “known throughout the Keys for her wildlife photography. Especially for her shots of the marsh birds and the marshlands and the sunsets. She knows the camera and how to pick a subject. She’s an expert who can turn a photo into a piece of art.”
The Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden is special in many ways, one of which is its status as the only “frost-free” vegetation and bird sanctuary in the continental U.S., McRae noted. “We’ve been designated as a wildlife refuge as far back as 1914 by the government. We have both flora and fauna species that exist nowhere else in the world.”
Though now retired from her ranger career, Killam’s decades of local experience have given her, she says, a unique perspective that helps snare her subjects in the lens.
While she does use sophisticated equipment like a Sony mirrorless digital camera, the “nature nerd” emphasizes that a simple phone will do. “Some people might not be able to afford a more expensive camera or lens, but that’s OK. You can do cool stuff with light and perspective and be imaginative and creative. All you need is a way to record those images.”
Simply put, Killam said, “The best camera in the world is the one you happen to have on you.”
Her photography program on Feb. 25 is free for visitors and will be the first of three presentations offered this spring, with the next one scheduled for March 11. More information is at keywest.garden.
Suspected Pagan gang members arrested in Marathon and Big Pine Key
On Jan. 9, two suspected members of the Pagans motorcycle gang were arrested in separate incidents, one in Marathon and another on Big Pine Key.
Nicole Marie Fortier, 45, Spring Hill, Florida, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine (0.4 grams), possession of a concealed weapon without a permit (a 9mm pistol) and possession of drug paraphernalia following a traffic stop on U.S. 1 near 17 Court in Marathon. The driver of the vehicle she was a passenger in, Nicholas Joseph La Bella, 69, also of Spring Hill, Florida, was cited for traveling 60 mph in a 35 mph zone and for not wearing a seatbelt. Police say La Bella admitted to speeding in order to keep up with a group of motorcyclists also affiliated with the Pagans.
Brandon Orlando Ebbs, 43, of Bayville, New Jersey, was charged with violation of probation for a DUI out of Monroe County following a traffic stop while riding a motorcycle on Big Pine Key.

Marathon Library to host sponge restoration lecture
Florida Sea Grant biologist Shelly Krueger will discuss sponge restoration at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23 as part of the Marathon library’s “Coffee, Cookies & Conversation” Speaker Series. The talk is free and open to all.
Sponges are among the most visible residents of the hard-bottom habitats typical in the nearshore waters of the Florida Keys. They are essential for healthy ecosystems because they continuously filter large volumes of water while feeding on phytoplankton, viruses and bacteria. Sponges also transform water chemistry by cycling nutrients and provide essential nursery habitat for important fisheries species such as spiny lobster, stone crab and bonefish. The loss of such an important component of nearshore habitats, especially in Florida Bay, has prompted calls for sponge restoration.
Krueger is a marine biologist with the Monroe County Extension office and the Florida Sea Grant agent in the Florida Keys since 2013.
