images are not generally stored in the root like this.
generally, the rule is that images are stored in a subdirectory under
where
the HTML files are stored, rather than being in the same directory.
HTML files are not stored in an images directory (unless you are putting
in
a blank index.html to prevent people from getting a listing of your
jpegs).
<a href="felines.html"><img src="images/cat.jpg" ...></a>
is a more usual example.
it doesn't hurt to organize your images, either by giving them good names,
or putting them in different directories, or both.
