AFTERNOON WITH DENIS
A friend came to visit me today. His real name is Denis but he is known as @denisdenis here on Hive.

I prepared an instant coffee that doesn't require much preparation and then we sat as usual in front of the computer. I'm always doing something, creating simple drawings or preparing photographs for future posts while talking with friends or anyone visiting.
I get nervous if I sit and talk without being busy with something more useful at the same time. A pure casual chat feels so exhausting to me if it isn't balanced with a bit of work and focus on creating something.

Denis also does not like chatting for the chat's sake. He is always doing something on his smartphone and often brings unexpected, interesting, or just bizarre things to show me.
Quite often, Denis looks and sounds like something in between a crazy scientist and a perfectly sane alchemist.

Today Denis manifested himself with a snail and a homemade magnifier.
I mean, the snail wasn't a snail really, just an empty shell with no snail inside. But it was an interesting shell that I don't encounter often.
The shell belongs to a species scientifically known as ... something and something in Latin. I don't know what species is this. I think it's something from the genus Marmorana in the Helicidaefamily, Marmorana muralis - for example, but I could be wrong.
The magnifier was made with a piece of glass found in the lens of my old, broken camera I gave Denis to dismantle and something that looked like some kind of bottle opener.
He brought also some weird green thing that glows in the dark.
"For Christ's sake, man" - I screamed - "Is this shit radioactive!?"
Believe it or not, it was just some kind of fishing bait that someone once used to catch fish in the dark.
Denis tried to photograph all those things together with his smartphone ...

... and I did the same with my Canon PowerShot SX60 HS camera.
Denis has a very good smartphone but my camera is better. At least when it comes to taking photos. You can't call 9-1-1 with my camera nor can you send messages around.
Anyway, if this was a contest I would have won.

In this set of twelve photographs, Denis is showing a wound he got while working on one of his crazy inventions.
And that's it. There's nothing else left to show or say.

AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
that snail is so cool I really like what you did
Dennis seem to be that smartphone guy but it’s so funny when you said he does not have a good camera like you. I know it’s the truth but makes me feel like you’re mocking him😅😅
When one meets him like this after a long time and sits and talks, laughs and jokes, the time passes very well and the memories grow.
I believe you guys had a lots of fun with you home made lens and snail shell.
I personally hate when I find myself chatting with my friends and not engaging myself with something useful at the same time, especially when I am home , so i understand why you got nervous.
Haha a simple visit with an interesting chap! I love when people are interesting wild cards like that. When they have such neat quirks and always have something going on, then that awkward period of getting comfortable visiting with someone new gets that much easier. Them you have a nice host of interesting friends to brighten up a day.
Hopefully no new wounds for you old friend. Share a !BEER with your interesting buddy!

That snail looks too big for a snail. It must be quite old, like a fossil. Yup, I think Dennis is also very weird, like a hybrid from Mars!
🙂
At the end of the photos I see the wound that your friend has, you definitely win hahahaha, well considering what you say about the calls, I haven't had visitors for quite some time, I usually go to shopping centers, there I meet some acquaintances, But it's nice to talk to like-minded people.
Looks like a great moment you had with Denis. What happened to his hand?
Que bueno compartir con hermanos Hivers , yo no he tenido esa suerte , realmente todo lo he aprendido por mi cuenta ensayo y error ..buen contenido @borjan
🙂
I got a lot of snails here too. I mean I didn't like them. They killed my plants. Lol
I love it that you work too even while chatting because time wasted can't be recovered.
But I can bet that both of you had fun with taking photos of that snail shell.
At first I was really wondering what is that green thing that is really looking so glowing
So you guys don't talk much?
Nope. 🙂 I mean, yes, we talk from time to time, but always while simultaneously working on something.

It is difficult to spare time for friends in this busy routine now a days. But having friends is a blessing of God. Glad to see Denis visits you. BTW photography of snail is awesome.
The camera really do a Great job and capture it so clear
Few people would say this. I've seen people just sit and talk, and talk and talk. They seem perfectly happy. You're right. It's exhausting.
Finally, someone who understands! 😂
