This shot and the penstemons before it were both made with a
500mm telephoto lens, hand-held @ 1/200th sec. The lens does
not have Vibration Reduction.

I just love it when you reply to yourself instead of putting the
text into the original post. And, if you already knew that the lens
has no IS and you gave up the ability to use a tripod, why do you
insist on putting yourself down by admitting you're not capable of
taking a good picture? Never mind, I already know.
