i rarely share photos on my blog that i didn't take myself. however, when i came across these photos i was stopped dead in my tracks. the images are from the book tippi of africa, authored by the girl's french photographer parents who raised her in the african wild from birth to age ten. the book is definitely on my must-buy list. since i can't go back in time and give myself this childhood, i dream of giving my own children this sort of gift one day. it's totally eliza from the wildthornberry's, right?
