You can use image hosting servers like imgbb or others and upload your image and get the link. Then in the rich text editor, use the insert image option and insert the image(use link from image hosting server).

Good Luck
Complete details on how image uploads work, why at times though you have it with a hosting server, it doesn't show on lp post or blogs and many more are summarized under that help link - It's LP's official help article.

"As simple as it can be..."
If it was as simple as can be clicking the icon would give you an option to upload an image from your device in addition to the option of supplying a link to an image that's already online.
In addition to being the simplest way to let posters upload images it also wouldn't allow other sites to remove content.

Uploading images and photos is available for paid members.
LP has to manage storage of images and pictures. This would take considerable amount of space on server when free users are allowed to upload. Possibly that's why that feature is not there for free users(image manager).
If people prefer to have permanent storage and permanent availability and be independent of 3rd party image hosting, they might have to continue their membership.
Still I see this image upload feature is as simple as it can be.

It must be a new thing because I have a few pictures uploaded in my blog.

Nope, I tried many times yesterday and it did not work. It used to, but no longer.
Which feature is not working?
Also is it a link that LP snips or some sort of blocked link?
Best solution in-case if it is user specific or link specific is to use the contact us link and provide more details. LP team would be able to help you out.
For me it works. And at times when imgbb image link didn't work(in my posts), it started showing later - could have been imgbb's server issues.

2) Right click and then click on Copy image address.
3) Come onto LP, click reply, then click on Insert/edit image.
4) Paste the image address into the Source box. Click OK.

Nice steps.
In addition to #1, if you are viewing the image, copy the url in the location bar. Usually such links will have your image's extension at the end. E.g., jpg or png or gif or other supported formats.
Make sure it's a web location http or https(e.g., http://imagehostexample.com/notactual/album1/image1.jpg) and not direct file from your computer(e.g., file://mypc/user/a/pictures/lpupload.jpg)that's not yet uploaded to any image hosting site.
If you are using Gold or Premium membership, you have image manager and a link to it in the rich text editor's insert image pop-up window itself.
A sample for standard users:
I will take imgbb.com as example image host. Create a free account and login to your account.
After uploading the images from your computer to imgbb.com, there are few options shown.- how long to retain image - auto delwte after x days or don't delete. After completing this with your choice, you will be prompted to choose from a list of options : Medium html links, actual html links, medium bb links, actual bb links and so on. Select actual size html links and you will see the html tags with the image links. Copy that text and put it in text editor like notepad or notepad++.
In LP blog or post's edit/new page rich text editor, you can enter the web url from the href tag on copied text in the url text box.
