Benjanun Sriduangkaew (who contributed “The Bees Her Heart, the Hive Her Belly”) shared this photo before sending it on to its next stop (which, by the way, is in Australia.)     You can see previous stops at my homepage, here, here and here. I plan to do a big wrap-up post once we’re all done.   #SFWApro
