Kirsh Family Pictures from 2000
The thumbnails below are each cropped from a bigger picture. Clicking on the thumbnail gets you the whole big picture. (And then using your browser's "back" button gets you back here.) Comments about the picture pertain to the big version, so usually whatever is mentioned isn't visible on this page. The pictures look much better if your display is in 24-bit color mode (also known as "millions of colors" or "true color", depending on your machine).

The kids on the river shore next to Captain Billy's. The bridge in the background is how we get from Virginia to Maryland. It seems a lot higher and steeper when you're on it than it looks in this picture.
(8/2000; 800x600; 132K) 		The kids on the pier at Captain Billy's. Restaurant is in the background.

The kids on the grounds of Robert E. Lee's early boyhood home, which happens to be just a few miles from George Washington's boyhood home (the one where he chopped down the cherry tree).
(8/2000; 800x600; 168K) 		Daniel & Richard at a Confederate cannon at Gettysburg. This is on a slight rise that was won by the Confederates on the first day's fighting. Merf is taking a picture of all of us.

Smoke clears immediately after a demonstration cannon shot from a position where Confederate artillery preceeded Pickett's Charge on the last day of the battle of Gettysburg. Cannon that fired is partly obscured by the ammo cart in the middle of the picture.
