Phil, those look good (and very close). I have been enjoying the 105 on the Z6 and have been shooting closeup flower pics handheld using single single point, AF-C, although even a little breeze can make things difficult.
A few more from today-
Very nice, again. I was attempting to shoot hand held too, but I found myself getting a bit dizzy trying to flow with the motion of the bush.
I need to try it with a tripod and find a way to stabilize the bush.

These are terrific, Bruce. I really admire and envy your ability to locate and get (reasonably) close to such beautiful wildlife.
The bear shot is even better than first impression, given the light (1/160, ISO 6400 - wide open).

Thanks Phil,
The black bear was foraging within 2 meters of my campground. We (my wife and I) were actually heading out to search from grizzly bears when we came across this female foraging with her cubs (you can just barely see a pair of cubs hidden by grass to the lower right). I tried to stay in my car, but as she move further into the valley, I grabbed my tripod... set up and just sat and watched. She became comfortable with my presence and resumed her interest in the dandelions.
The moose story was similar, though I was sure to stay clear of the calf... I am more afraid of a female moose with a young calf than a bear with cubs. Given a reasonable distance, bears will keep eating and ignore people... Moose and bison can become really aggressive around people if there are any calves.
cheers,
bruce
