The reason is that browsers traditionally draw borders around images
that are links or, more exactly, for any <img> element that is inside
an <a> element that has an href attribute. Some browsers have
abandoned the tradition.
To suggest that no such border be drawn, use
img { border: none; }
in your stylesheet.

P.S. The tradition was based on the idea that users need to see that
an image is a link from its appearance. The border color also reflects
the state of the link (unvisited, visited, active, hovered). But
authors did not like this idea in situations where they thought that
it was obvious which images are links
