First, take great care when shooting on bright sunny days. I don't know if you're aware of the "Sunny 16" rule which means that on bright sunny cloudless/clear days, keep your aperture at f/16 and the shutter speed at the inverse of the ISO (f/16 and 1/200 at ISO 200, for example). This helps to get you better exposures, especially if you aren't using a telephoto (let's say >135mm focal length). Also be mindful of the time of day and the position of the sun. This rule helps at 'high noon', if you will, when everything is fully illuminated.
Second, you really may want to think about shooting RAW if your camera is able. Obviously one never shoots something thinking that PS can save it but there is a lot that can be recovered using a RAW editor if the values of the photograph are more or less where they should be.
One other thing - if you don't have them think about getting yourself some lens filters. A set can be had rather cheaply (<$30) and a circular polarizer or neutral-density filter can help with saturation issues that come from haze, for instance, and bring out more of a scene.
