flapping/angle of attack question????

A dumb sounding question but....
could somebody explain in 'simple' terms why when a rotor blade flaps up the angle of attack reduces. I know the it relates to the relative airflow but I cannot picture it.
I have searched through here but could'nt find anything simple enough!!!!lol
Any links to some good visual diagrams would be helpful!!
Thankyou very much in advance!
