A rare ( for me ) drone encounter

I was out on a little floating dock on a quiet pond and saw this snake basking in the sun.



There was about 25 feet of water between us, so I got a photo or two in case it left.  

Then as I had my drone nearby, I decided to put that up and see if I could get an overhead shot.

I don't like flying it if there are other animals that will likely not react well around one, but I didn't think a snake would be too disturbed by it.

So for me, it's a pretty rare image of an animal from the drone.
