Like the first one IW  The 2nd one is a little overexposed though, hence the too bright wall. That pic done a little grainy and a little less exposed would be great 
Like the boats The sunset is nice too, although I hink a little more exposure would give it a bit mroe detail, and with the bright spot at the top (sun) removed. Or just take it about half anhour after.

Comrade, in that very first picture you posted of your cat, it looks like it was flattening its ears in anger??

I think maybe the second one looked better in colour. The sun was exceptionally bright that day, and as the camera is an automatic digital, I have no control over exposure or whatever. I can barely control the flash. 
How about a little more contrast, a bit of noise, and Paint Shop's sepia effect?

IW: Nice but still overexposed. You lose the clarity in the wall with tbe brightness. Now, if you were to reduce the brightness quite a bit on that spot, gradiating it out so that there was little effect elsewhere, then you would have a cracking pic. Im a sad traditionalist though so I never photoshop pics.

Very nice Caligastia  Espcially the butterfly. Hard to get that close while keeping focus (indeed, my camera won't). Is it shot with a zoom lens? If not even more congrats

My digital camera has a zoom, but for that shot I just held the camera really close.

That is very impressive then. My camera blurs when I'm taking pictures of rabbits and stuff, but a butterfly!
I don't mind P-shopping it, but I don't then call it photography...

Thanks. They often don't come out very well when I hold it so close, but this one really worked out.

There are two ways you can pull that off.
1. Use a tele lens (zoom will do the same thing). 400mm or so should do the job. You probably need a tripod.
2. Use a lens with "macros" capability, in which case you can hold your camera up really close.
