Kim Botelho, a local nature photographer, recently won Honorable Mention in an international contest run by National Geographic. "I’m so thrilled I want to jump out of my skin," said Kim, who is a youth program coordinator for Groundwork Providence. "When I returned to school to study photography, I kept saying, National Geographic here I come! but I never imagined I would ever really see one of my images below the National Geographic banner. Dreams do come true!" Kim took the picture of a baby gibbon and its mother at Roger Williams Park Zoo, where she used to volunteer as a docent. She has worked as an environmental educator in R.I. for 10 years, and recently completed a photography program at Boston University. Over 148,000 pictures were entered in the National Geographic contest, so she is entitled to be thrilled.

Congratulations to Kim! |
