Abstract:
   The optical (BVRI) and infrared monitoring data covering 2 years for 10 
   radio-selected BL Lac objects and the simutaneous observations of optical 
   and infrared for BL Lac and 3C 66A are presented here. Seven sources exhibit
   short time-scale variability, and two sources exhibit medium time-scale 
   variability.
