Preventive Screen Ultrasound, pics included

I went to a place that does preventive health screenings. One of the screenings is an ultrasound of the thyroid.  I got the results via email.  I'm posting the pictures, but I have no idea where in the picture my thyroid is.  That is my question.... where is my thyroid in all of this (4 pictures in one ... left thyroid trv, left thyroid sag, right thyroid trv, right thyroid sag.)

Thank you. :-)  I'm glad someone else can recognize where the thyroid is.... I can't pick it out for the life of me.  Thank you again.

The images are blurry
This is either because there was no gel used or transducer was not guided properly.
I do not see any nodular abnormalities; there are 2 parathyroid glands visible on upper right image. Because there is no scale I cannot estimate the size of thyroid but the isthmus thickness appear to be within normal limits.
Large black round features on lower left images are blood vessels
