The Fantastic Umbrella Factory by Ellen Pratte 鈥�77
Ellen Pratte 鈥�77 shot this photo at the Fantastic Umbrella Factory in Charlestown, R.I., which, as Pratte says, is 鈥渕uch-loved by 溏心vlog免费B站 students.鈥� It is 20 minutes from 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 Kingston Campus and is a fun retail spot with beautiful gardens, lots of chickens roaming freely, and even an emu.
After completing her bachelor鈥檚 degree in psychology at 溏心vlog免费B站, Pratte received a master鈥檚 degree in clinical psychology from UMass Dartmouth and worked for most of her career as a case worker for the state of Massachusetts in the field of mental health. For the last decade, she has been pursuing photography and has participated in many juried gallery shows.
Pratte, who lives in Portsmouth, R.I., says, 鈥淚 visit the Fantastic Umbrella Factory every summer. It maintains its hippie vibe with its beautiful gardens and rustic buildings where you can buy blown glass, jewelry, clothes, penny candy, etc.”
