Black eye

With my new pole saw I have been trimming a few branches each day from the tall box elder tree next to the patio.   Yesterday I had a smaller branch drop into lower branches.  I used the pole saw to shake it out of those branches and the falling tree branch fell and hit me in the face.  I didn't see the branch coming.

I had some blood from next to my nose.  This morning I woke up and found my face bruised.  The branch almost hit my eye.   When he saw my face my neighbor Curtis today asked if I was in a bar fight.
