corner view - contrasts

"i know corner view is always on wednesdays. in fact i thought about it several times in the past week, but still i didn’t prepare a corner view."

a linguistic contrast describes the relationship between two segments in a discourse. It is often characterized with the use of a contrast marker such as but, however or yet.

so, a linguistic contrast could be, for example, to say that someone (say me) knows of a certain event and therefore it is to be expected that he/she (also me) will be prepared for it. nevertheless, by introducing the linguistic contrast marker "but" and stating that he/she (me again) did in fact not prepare for such an event (like a corner view, for example), a linguistic contrast has been established.

by the way, i really didn't have much time this week. blame it on the drops of water and the work and baking problems that followed.

and the image of a chameleon is not only to show you that we have awesome wild life in the garden. i figured it is also a nice example of how the lack of visual contrast, resulting in effective blending in with your surroundings, can be very useful sometimes. though he is not really doing such a good job, is he? say if you don't look at him with the green trees as a background, but look from below against a blue sky. then he's pretty much green against blue.

i guess everyone sticks out in some way or another, it just depends on the angle.
