Keep receiving a "bummer" error on my html code.

Keep receiving a "bummer" error on my html code when I think the code is correct. This is the only section that says incomplete because of this happening. I have checked and rechecked and it still says wrong. Am I missing something wrong in the code? Help. :)

Jeremy Franklin thank you for the prompt response! I should clarify that I am able to get past the three blank list items, but it is when they call for the images 01, 02, and 06 (just the relative path code, and without the absolute link code) that it sends me the "bummer!" message, and I can't proceed.

Hey Natalie,

you keep getting a bummer error because of the "img/" written in the file path. For the code challenge, the images weren't placed in a separate image folder so they should just be called by their name. 

<img src = "numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
<img src = "numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
<img src = "numbers-06.jpg" alt="">

Let me know if you still get the error.

In the exercise it says make an "unordered list with three blank list items". You put the image links in the list items instead.
so...

<section> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </section>

Just make the list item tags themselves. Worked for me.
