out of doors
In the open
Out of doors means outside, in the open air rather than inside a building: The children spent the afternoon out of doors.
The phrase is slightly old-fashioned; outdoors now serves the same purpose more concisely.
As a noun phrase, the out of doors refers to nature or the natural environment generally.
