Nice shots there.
It is not really possible to make definite IDs without seeing the foliage, especially with sunflowers and asters, but here goes.
The first one is an Aster, possibly "Panicled Aster" Symphyotrichum lanceolatum.
The second one is most likely "St. Peter's-wort" Hypericum crux-andreae.
My guess on the third one is "Swamp Sunflower" Helianthus angustifolius.

Thank you, Mike, for your kind comment and for the ID's. I'll try to remember to include some of the foliage in the shot when I want to ID a plant.
