When playing this exercise, it is best to start with the form of the plant you are seeking, add it to the climate you live in, and select a plant that has that form and will grow where you live in the site conditions you have.

The actual plants in the online picture don't really matter, but picture #1 boxwood and yucca or agave. Picture #2 a sheared juniper..

peruse a few of the posts in the name that plant forum.. and see the type of pix you need for good IDs ...

these pix are near useless for ID purposes.. though chris gives it a yeomans try ... there is a west coast conifer.. that looks like the juniper suggested.. but the name is escaping this MI boy ....

if you take a walk around the area.. and snap your own GOOD pix .... and post them to the name that plant forum.. including location.. big city name.. those peeps can ID anything .. with the benefit you know they will grow where you are.. include local parks .. arborteums.. and nurseries ...which of course.. should have labeled plants ...

psw: btw... that second pic looks heavily photoshopped ... something about the balls under the trees in dead center ... which makes me question the whole thing ...

second image is definitely computer generated...shrubs that would look like that are various zone 8/9 Podocarpus, or Rhamnus 'Fine Line'.
