Scared of her own shadow... (literally!)

Our dear sweet girl has recently discovered her shadow. And she is not a fan. It happened as we were walking home from the park in the evening. She was walking a few feet in front of me and as we got closer to the fence she spotted, began lifting her feet up and down (as if to shake it) and then screamed, started crying, and ran to me.
I tried my best to show her it was harmless, make it move, wave, and wiggle but she clung to me tighter than ever. She refused to walk home or be let out of my arms. Now whenever the sun is shining and she spots her shadow, she cries, and runs to us.
I guess it is just the price you have to pay for living in Central New York where the sun only shines a few times a year - and freaks small children out with the novelty of it...
