The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Smooch's Outdoor Sofa Selfie

 A bright, cheerful collage featuring four cats surrounded by colourful summer flowers including daisies, sunflowers, and lupines. The cats include an orange tabby, a black cat with a blue butterfly perched on its nose, a white cat with grey markings, and another white cat with darker markings. Above them hangs a decorative banner reading “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®,” with bunting flags and string lights adding to the festive feel. Scattered around the scene are black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style snapshots of other cats, creating a playful, nostalgic atmosphere for BBHQ’s July Sunday Selfies.

Another pawesome selfie starring Smooch BBHQ's tripawed supurr star!

A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red. Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

Meowvellous greetings, pawesome furiends

Welcome to BBHQ on this delightful Sunday!

As promised last weekend, Smooch is here enjoying a snuggle under the gazebo.

Smooch's Outdoor Sofa Selfie

The cat, wearing a red collar with a small bell, appears calm and alert while enjoying the garden setting, with green foliage visible in the background. This serene moment captures Smooch, a tripawed cat, enjoying a peaceful afternoon as part of the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BBHQ.

Everypawdy loves the gazebo, come rain, wind, sun or snow, mew can guarantee that at least one of The B Team is here! 

Though in the colder months, not for long!!! MOL

We'll be back in the morning with July's Meow'oScope, so do join us then, as mew know how much we love your visits to BBHQ, it really makes our day!
