Brr...

Here in the great state of Nebraska, it is cold and dark this time of year. It will continue to be cold and dark for several months to come. Really, as far as weather is concerned, we move between two extremes - suffocatingly hot and freeze-your-nose-hairs cold. While we aren't quite to stiff nose hair weather, we are definitely on our way.

Given that the weather will not be conducive to outdoor pictures anytime soon, I decided to bribe Lola with some treats this evening and play with my new flash and diffuser. She is really quite cooperative as long as she knows there will be a reward of bacony goodness at the end.

First, a little black-and-white action. Lola wanted to wave "Hi" to everyone.

Then, she rocked her America's Next Top Model profile pose.
