Image not showing - Ajax and API's : Displaying the photos

$(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 flickrOption = {
    tags: animal,
    format: "json"
  };
  function displayPhoto(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 src="' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>';
    }); 
  };
  $.getJSON(flickrAPI, flickrOption, displayPhoto);
}); 
});

Before this there was an error on console so slowly I corrected it and now there isn't any error showing on console but image not showing.

The problem is pretty clear, you forgot to add the HTML to the page, after the loop ends, select the div with id of "photos" and add the HTML to it.

photoHTML += </ul>; $("#photos").html(photoHTML);
