I had to be careful taking these photos!
With the coolness of fall upon us, the snakes are on the move, including the venomous ones. Around our place, it's the North American Pit Vipers like Copperheads, Cottonmouths, and Rattlesnakes. So far, we've only been seeing the Copperheads, which blend in incredibly with their environment. They aren't "aggressive" but rather "defensive" and if they feel threatened, they'll strike. Unfortunately, many people don't see them and then step next to them, or on them, and the snake defends itself by biting. Thankfully, we've never been bit by one yet. Enjoy the photos!

I really afraid with snake
Yikes! I wouldn't want that on my yard.. but then again, my yard is a little smaller than yours. I'm glad to see you took an appreciation of the snake as opposed to harmed it. Hopefully that copperhead eats the things you don't want on your property and stays away from the things that you do want on your land 👍
