Flickr Photos Not Showing

For some reason, I am seeing the gray styling boxes for the images, but the images themselves are not being loaded. I manually entered the image URLs and everything was fine. Then, I chained the fail() method to the end of the $.getJSON() call. Still nothing. If someone could please help me, here is my code from flickr.js:

$(document).ready(function () {

  $('button').click(function () {
    $("button").removeClass("selected");
    $(this).addClass('selected');
    var flickrAPI = "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?";
    var animal = $(this).text();
    var flickrOptions = {
      tags: animal,
      format: "json"
    };
    function displayPhotos(data) {
      var photoHTML = "<ul>";
      $.each(data.items, function (i, photo){
        photoHTML += '<li class="grid-25 tablet-grid-50">';
        photoHTML += '<a href="' + photo.link + '" class="image">';
        photoHTML += '<img scr="' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>';
      }); //end each
      photoHTML += '</ul>';
      //console.log(photoHTML);
      $('#photos').html(photoHTML);
    }
    $.getJSON(flickrAPI,flickrOptions,displayPhotos).fail(function () {console.log("fail")});
  }); //end click
});// end ready

Nevermind, I figured it out. In this line: 

photoHTML += '<img scr="' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>';

I misspelled the "src" attribute. Argh, silly spelling errors.
