Welcome to Steemit (again) @vmoor709 :)
I love your photos so far! That pastry at the end looks DELICIOUS! I'll give you a follow so I can check out your future nature photos!
I'm new to Steemit too and just joined last week! I gained more than 100 followers in that time! Check out this post if you wanna learn exactly how I did it https://steemit.com/steemit/@blaisep/how-to-gain-over-100-followers-in-less-than-1-week-on-steemit
I hope you find some value in it and implement some of the principles to grow your own account!
