Leaf snap is one such app. for leaf identification. I have not used it. The mountains around were I live do not play nice with cell reception.

I have used Leaf Snap on my iPhone and it works sometimes. But, being in South Florida we have different trees than most of the US. So, I can't say how it will work in your area. I just tried to use it on a leaf that a guy brought in to work Friday. It wasn't able to find that tree. But, it brought up a bunch of others.
My version only allows location selection for New York, DC, and North East.
First one is hard to say. Need more pictures.
The leaf on the second one is common around here. I think it's water oak.
Third one is definitely a cypress. the fruits are a giveaway.
The Audobon Society guide is pretty good, but only offers leaves and bark for picture identification. The details are in the back, so you can't go by picture alone. As gryff mentioned, there are a lot of details that need to be considered for proper identification and if you want to learn it, you'll want books to carry with you. When you spot an elm, you'll see what we mean
Also, there are many good plant identification keys online that you should keep in mind.
being about the same latitude and similar growing conditions, we should have similar plants.
I am from Northeast Arkansas we have alot of the same trees that you have down there. The first tree judging by the leave and bark is an Elm.. second tree (YCC says water oak and maybe correct not saying they are not but)by the leaves and color and shape I am going to say a white oak...tough wood right there....the last one you are correct it is a bald cyprus. Just got a complete tree ID book for our backpack couple years ago, we like going out and looking at trees. Take care.
