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
