Despite the mildness of the winter, it appears most readers are more than ready to welcome in the spring season. Earlier this month, we asked readers to send in photos of local evidence of this year's early spring. We were rewarded with images of crocuses bursting from the ground, bleary-eyed critters and happy kids. Here's just a few to get you through to summertime.

Sharma Howard, of East Lyme, submitted this photo.

Daneen Roth, of New London, shared this photo of a groundhog that was relocated to another shoreline town.

Jackie Begina, of Killingworth, submitted this photo.

Misty Christensen, of Norwich, submitted this photo of her son Devin smelling the first daffodil of the season.
