LOOKING UP AND DOWN

Rather belatedly I am linking up with HELENA, over at HELENA'S CREATIVE MAVEN for her photography meme:
luld-2 

My pictures this week were taken as I was walking into the village a couple of days ago


looking up at the at the beautiful blossom, I caught the early morning sun through the branches of this almond tree!


Looking down at the great hole in the ground which is the reservoir.....it has been absolutely empty for about a week now....I was reliably informed today, that this is an annual occurrence to clean the salt and silt from the bottom of it! It is a man made reservoir covered with a ginormous pond-liner, which obviously needs to be maintained...something that had not previously occurred to me.

Hope to see you all on Sunday over at SIAN'S PLACE for STORYTELLING SUNDAY....my box of precious things is down from it's perch- all I have to do is decide what I shall write about!

Happy Friday...enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    A joy to see these sunny and pretty photos! Wondering how on earth they refill the reservoir - are they holding back rivers somewhere? Lovely pairing ...

    Ooh, I can't wait to see what you pick!

    An empty reservoir is always a scary site isn't it? It makes you think

    I love how you can see the village in the looking up and the blossoming tree in the looking down one. They're a great pair together.
