Eee-yup. That's Exactly Right.

I used to have some uploaded pictures that wouldn't enlarge when clicked upon. What you will have to do is take one post that has both kinds of pictures, go into edit mode on that post, then look at the html. The pictures that won't enlarge are missing part of the encoding. I'm not sure why. It just happened to one of mine on my Professor Valley post:
-a href="http://geology.utah.gov/surveynotes/geosights/fishertowers.htm"--img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287545926460870498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 20px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="towers" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zyAOnV8f3Oo/SWEjAWhDj2I/AAAAAAAAC6U/qnwhDXfaQ2c/s400/IMG_6016_2_1.jpg" border="0" /-
That html will click to another link because the first part isn't the same as the second part, and also because it doesn't have an ending to the a href part, which would be enclosed /a. You are probably missing the 'a href=http:// etc part at the beginning.
Mine should read:
-a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zyAOnV8f3Oo/SWEjAWhDj2I/AAAAAAAAC6U/qnwhDXfaQ2c/s1600-h/IMG_5964_3_1.jpg"--img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287545926460870498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 20px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="towers" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zyAOnV8f3Oo/SWEjAWhDj2I/AAAAAAAAC6U/qnwhDXfaQ2c/s400/IMG_6016_2_1.jpg" border="0" /--/a-
I had to add a little code similar to other pictures - s1600-h - which indicates, I think, that I uploaded it in large format.
And for this example, I used a dash (-) instead of the usual html greater than or less than symbols, otherwise the code above wouldn't be readable here.
It happened somehow when I added a link in the next line right after the photo, which somehow got mixed into the photo html code, possibly because I backspaced when I shouldn't have.
Hope that is helpful. Otherwise, let me know, maybe it would be clearer in an email?
Thanks for the help, SF! I'll mess with some stuff and see if I can make it work out- if not I'll get back in touch. It's been frustrating because often the pictures I post are in much higher resolution than fits on the page. I've been loading many pictures smaller than I'd like since they're going to get shrunk to fit, they won't clck through, and I've seen no point in wasting storage to no useful end. Much appreciation atcha!
I resize mine, usually, to 800 on one dimension before loading, but for important ones, I go has high as 1-3 MB, usually 1500 on a side max. Just so I don't use up all my Picasa space.
There's only certain sizes that blogger really prints on the page well - mine usually 400px wide. It works better for portrait photos, which you can rescale in the html to 400w, but then you have to use 640 as the max size or it looks a little pixellated.
You can upload to blogger in full res, and then it rescales to 400 wide, but when clicked on will show the full resolution. Probably you already know that!
Messing w/ the html can be a hassle sometimes, but I end up having to do it or else things just don't look right to me!
