Thanks for the quick reply, Gav.  It is still Friday night in British
Columbia. :)

I got confused because the image I wanted to make a link used a
<figure> as an immediate child element of a <section>.  I changed the
<figure> to an <img> since only <img> can be used inside an <a>, but,
unlike <figure>, <img> cannot be an immediate child of a <section>.  I
never thought of enclosing an <img> in a <p>.
