Unfortunately I haven&#8217;t been able to take many photos in the last couple of years because of health issues, most notably with my knees because of arthritis; because of pain in my knees just walking has been a chore and a challenge.

Two weeks ago those beautiful flowers bloomed and I wanted so badly to get out and take a few pictures, but I&#8217;ve also been hit hard with allergies this year and had little desire to subject myself to flying pollen, but I so wanted to get out and take some before they they disappeared for another year.  So, last Sunday I gathered my trusty Nikon D3000 and drove down the road a bit and sought out some tulips and other things to take pictures of.  I have to say, it definitely felt good to get out and view nature from behind that digital lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1079\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/tulip-time-again-finally\/dsc_7724\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7724-e1553644074379.jpg?fit=800%2C1195&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,1195\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1553439058&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;55&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;8&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tulips\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7724-e1553644074379.jpg?fit=648%2C969&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7724.jpg?fit=648%2C433\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1079\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1080\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/tulip-time-again-finally\/dsc_7721ac\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7721ac-e1553644346773.jpg?fit=800%2C551&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,551\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1553438947&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 2019 James A Scott&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;75&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Leaves\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7721ac-e1553644346773.jpg?fit=648%2C446&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/enrjyzr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_7721ac.jpg?fit=648%2C446\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1080\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone that knows me knows how much I really enjoy taking photos.
