Nice shots! I have some rather like that on my hard drive from last year ;)
The one with the poppy ought to be fixable with some judicious GIMP[1]ing - a quick-and-dirty crop would be one option. Whack off the left and bottom borders, losing the date stamp, but retaining the proportions and most of the content.
[1] or other image manipulation software of your choice.
This is second pimp for GIMP *g* - I've been using Paint and Office Photo Manager, but I admit I'm not very good at image manipulation (just learning with all these new LJ icons I have).
I started using it because it's free, and also open source which is a philosophy I like. But using it on Windows occasionally feels horribly, horribly wrong ;) (From an ethical standpoint, I mean).
As for learning how, I'm still very crap due to round tuit deficiency. But there are about fifty bazillion sites around with tutorials, including one with a honking great PDF manual. Yell if you're interested, and I'll fire some links your way.

Glad you like the pictures! I'm going to try to get some slightly sunnier ones if the weather holds up this week.
