Narrative:
Departed ZZZ for a non tower airport in same state. I did a little flying with a friend and then returned to ZZZ. When I had departed ZZZ there were no new tfr in effect. However, during my time at ZZZ1 (non tower airport) the FAA had issued the tfr around all power plants. After returning I became aware of these tfr's. The non-controlled field was in a private community within the 10 mile ring of the power plant. Chain of events should check NOTAMS before every leg, not just the first. (The joy of flying is gone) I had 1200 in the transponder and guard 121.5 in the communication during my flight. No traffic during the return trip.
