How did these birds get into this lightbulb?





Found this on the web.  I'm wondering if it is a diorama or a photoshop image.  I would guess the latter, but it's still pretty cool looking.

Under Glass

Here is a collections of photos I found on line, of objects of beauty, under glass displays.  In the past, before I decided to write a blog, I simply collected inspirational images.  Often without noting from where they came.  As a result, I don't always have  the links or credits for these images.  I am trying to locate that information, but in the interim, if you know anything about the images, or they are yours, please let me know.   Meanwhile, I hope the owners don't mind me borrowing them for this blog.
