Under the Third
Under the Third is a Boulder, Colorado wildlife print made on a bitter cold day beneath the Flatirons, when a small group of mule deer were feeding quietly in a snowy meadow. When I first spotted them, the Third Flatiron sat far back in the distance. I knew the image would only work if I could line the deer and that landmark up in the same frame—close, low, and patient.
So I did what the moment asked for: I crawled on my belly through the snow for a few hundred feet, stopping often and letting the animals watch me without feeling threatened. That slow approach changed everything. The deer stayed calm, the composition tightened, and the Flatiron finally settled into place behind them. The stormy haze and muted winter tones helped simplify the scene even more—grass, fog, stone, and an animal perfectly still in the middle of it.
If you’re looking for Boulder Colorado wall art or a Flatirons wildlife print with a quiet winter mood, Under the Third is one of my favorite ways to bring Colorado’s foothills and wildlife into a home or office.
