As far as composition goes, they all look very centered. Try to utilize the ROT (Rule of Thirds) a little more.

Not only use the rule of thirds, but consider the "lines" in the picture. You generally don't want horizon/shore lines going diagonal across your picture, it might throw off the overall feel of it.

Honestly, and I don't mean to be overly harsh, but they mostly seem like snapshots. Additionally, all of your close-ups are badly out of focus. Notice how the leaves are sharp while the flowers are blurred. Think more about your composition. Don't just go around taking photos left and right of every tree and flower you see. Walk around a subject you find interesting. Look at the angles, the lines, and the lighting. Once you think you may be on to something, take out the camera and test out a few angles by looking through the viewfinder but not actually snapping a shot. Keep on looking at each angle until you find one that you think has the properties of a well composed photo, and only then go through the process of taking the photo. Focus more on taking one or two "good" photos, rather then snapshots of every little thing you see. Also, as suggested, reading up a bit on basic composition like the rule of thirds probably would help guide you in the right direction.

Hope that helped

EDIT: Oh and also, if your camera lets you adjust your f stop, learn how to do so. Proper use of your aperture will let you blur our busy and distracting backgrounds like in your flower photos, lending more attention to the subject.
