My suggestion would be to work on your compositions. I don't want to come off as rude when I say this but it looks as though you just walked around and held up your camera for a few seconds at whatever held your attention. As a viewer, I'm not really sure what I should be looking at or what the subject is.
The three that really jump out at me are the fence (gate?), the tree trunks, and the log across the creek. I think those could make some good images. I would probably work each of those locations for like 30 minutes. Just really exhaust all possibilites until you find something that works.
For example, it looks like the sun is setting in the one title "First Photo Trip". Use the shadows and texture of the snow. Don't be afraid to get really, really close and show some detail. And shoot portrait orientation! It'll make those shadows seem reeeally long and lead your eyes into the image or to your subject.
In the creek image, it looks like there is a bridge in the distance. There's a possible point of interest. I also notice tracks (animal) on the right hand side that splits two trees. Get right up to those trees and show the detail of the wandering tracks anchored by the trunks on the left and right. There also looks to be cool close ups of ice on the shore.
Anyways, you see what I mean. You have endless possibilities with locations like this.
Just my $.02. Keep it up!
