Where Did my Summer Go?

I took a trip to downtown Auckland during lunch break today to run some errands. While I was walking through Albert Park, I spotted these trees.





This is when I realized that it is Fall, almost Winter here, and I missed out on a Summer! We also had 40 degrees Fahrenheit this morning... I guess I should have noticed this sooner :)

I was prepared for the cold lab today - lots of layers and hot tea ;)

We have a new student in the lab. Her name is Melanie, and she is also studying Bioinformatics.
